LEWISBURG, Pa. - On the heels of his second 20-save performance in as many weeks, Bucknell senior goalie Justin Sussman (Towson, Md./Friends School) has been named the Bull Run Inn Bison Athlete of the Week.
Sussman was brilliant in 24th-ranked Bucknell's 10-2 road win at No. 21 Harvard on Saturday. He shut out the Crimson until the third minute of the fourth quarter, when a deflected shot hopped past him. Still, Sussman finished with 20 saves, the same number he had in Bucknell's season-opening 13-3 loss at ninth-ranked North Carolina.
Sussman is an Inside Lacrosse honorable mention preseason All-American, and he is the reigning Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year.
Sussman has a .727 save percentage and 7.50 goals-against average in two games thus far.
