Corey picked the most opportune time to score his first career goals, netting two in UCLA's 2-0 NCAA third round victory over Florida International on Sunday. Corey, who came off the bench in the 38th minute, recorded the first goal of the game just 51 seconds into the second half. He added a much-needed insurance goal with just over five minutes to play, helping send top-seeded UCLA into the quarterfinals for the third time in five years.
This is Corey's first UCLA/MET-Rx Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of his career.
Also nominated: Nikki Blue, W. Basketball (team-high 16 points to go along with five assists and four steals in win over Illinois); Michael Fey, M. Basketball (career-high 20 points and eight rebounds in 68-67 win over Vermont); Brynn Murphy, W. Volleyball (career-high 23 kills and 24.5 points vs. Pepperdine); Brett Ormsby, M. Water Polo (11 goals in three matches as UCLA placed third at the MPSF Tournament); Nandi Pryce, W.
