LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell field hockey star Lauren Campbell (Harleyville, Pa./Souderton H.S.) continues to add to her post-season accolades, earning the 2001 Patriot League Field Hockey Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, the league office announced this afternoon.
Earlier this year Campbell, a management major with a 3.73 grade point average, was named to the All-Mideast Region First Team, which qualified her for the national team. She then became the first Bucknell field hockey player to earn national All-America honors with a spot on the third team. Campbell is only the fifth Patriot League All-American in the sport of field hockey and the first non-Lafayette player. She was also an All-Patriot League selection this fall and was invited to the North-South All-Star Game.
Campbell, who started all but one game for the Bison over the last three years, enjoyed another outstanding season in 2001. She finished second on the team with 14 points (five goals, four assists), with two of those goals coming in a 3-2 win over American in the season finale. She was also one of the team's top defenders, as she ranked among the Bucknell leaders with 44 interceptions and led the team with 68 positive tackles.
Campbell is the fourth Bison field hockey player to win the Patriot League Scholar Athlete of the Year award.
A scholar-athlete nominee must have at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA and be a starter or key player in his/her sport. The winners are selected in a vote of the League's sport information directors.
