Lewisburg, Pa. --- Bucknell senior Brooke Bader (Elyria, Ohio/Elyria) has received the Subway Athlete of the Month Award for the month of September in volleyball.
The award was announced at the monthly Bucknell Women's Sports Luncheon, held Monday, October 2. Sponsored by Lewisburg Subway, the luncheon recognizes one outstanding student-athlete from each Bucknell women's sport in season at that time. Other winners for the month of September, as selected by the respective coaches, included sophomore Laurie Purse in soccer, junior Becki Marshall in cross country, sophomore Molly Campbell in golf, and junior Melissa Maher in field hockey.
Bader is a middle hitter on the Bucknell volleyball squad and is coming off of a strong month. In the team's last contest, a conference win over Navy, Bader had a perfect hitting night with 11 kills on 21 attempts for a .524 hitting percentage. Earlier in the month she was named to the All-Tournament team for the Subway Classic held at Bucknell.
The volleyball team is currently 5-11 overall and 1-0 in conference action. The next contest for the Bison will be this Tuesday, October 3 in Hamilton, N.Y. for a Patriot League match-up against Colgate at 7:00 p.m.
