LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell women's swimming and diving junior Rebecca Scheffter (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) was named Lewisburg Hotel Bison Athlete of the Week on Monday after helping the Bison to two Patriot League victories over Navy and Lafayette last Saturday. The Orange and Blue defeated the Midshipmen by a score of 155-143 and captured a 210-89 win against the Leopards.
Scheffter won both the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events in Saturday's meet with times of 24.40 and 53.14, respectively. She also helped Bucknell to a first place finish in the 200 free relay and a second place showing in the 200 medley relay. The team of freshman Susan Horstmann (Havertown, Pa.), senior Mary Krakowski (Erie, Pa./McDowell), senior Lauren Reed (South Plainfield, N.J./Mount St. Mary Academy) along with Scheffter, won the 200 free relay in 1:38.85, good for 10th all-time in the Bucknell record book.
The Bison return to action this Saturday and Sunday when the team will next play host to the Bucknell Trials/Finals Invitational on Nov. 19 and 20, with the trials beginning at 10 a.m. and the finals at 5 p.m. on each day of the meet.
