PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior forward Grant Bell (Little Falls, Minn./Little Falls Community) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week after collecting five points in Saturday's 5-1 victory at Evansville.
Bell enjoyed his first career five-point game by scoring twice and recording an assist in the convincing victory against the Purple Aces. He scored his two goals inside the game's first six minutes, stripping a defender and scoring at 3:49 and running onto a long ball from keeper Logan Ketterer for the eventual game-winner at 5:22. Bell later was credited for an assist on Jacob Taylor's goal in the 64th minute. A business management and administration major, Bell owns a 3.26 cumulative grade point average.
Each week, a Bradley student-athlete is selected as the COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week. The individual chosen must be at least a sophomore in class standing and boast a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, while displaying a level of athletic excellence.
Bell and the Bradley soccer team are back in action Saturday, hosting Missouri Valley Conference rival Missouri State in a 7 p.m. contest at Shea Stadium.
