KRISTEN SANDEL ’98 was a catalyst on some outstanding Bison softball teams, including the 1997 squad that became the first in team history to win a conference championship. A four-year starting third baseman, Sandel earned three All-Patriot League citations, including First Team honors as a freshman and junior. Sandel was an NFCA First Team All-Region pick following her junior season, when the Bison defeated Colgate 4-1 in an epic 19-inning game to win the Patriot League title.
Â
Known as a deadly gap hitter, Sandel graduated with Bucknell season (8) and career (18) records for triples, and her career batting average of .346 ranked fifth in team history at the time.
Â
Also an outstanding student, Sandel was the 1998 Patriot League Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a CoSIDA Third Team Academic All-American. At the 1998 Senior Awards Banquet she was presented the prestigious Alvin F. Jackson Scholar-Athlete Award.
