LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell junior Kate Ruda (Mountain Top, Pa./Crestwood) has received the August Athlete of the Month for field hockey from local co-sponsors K.I.C.K.S. Marshall Arts for Women and Curves for Women.
The award was announced at the monthly Bucknell Women's Sports Luncheon, held Thursday, Sept. 5. Sponsored by K.I.C.K.S.
