LEWISBURG, Pa. - A league-best 12 student-athletes from the 2006 Patriot League Champion Bucknell women's swimming and diving squad were named to the First and Second All-Patriot League teams for the highest total by a women's swimming and diving squad in Patriot League history. The Bison posted six first team selections and six second team selections, while Colgate followed with nine total All-League members.
Senior Lectie Altman (Syracuse, N.Y./William Nottingham) and junior Katherine Munson (New Fairfield, Conn./New Fairfield) both earned sports on the All-League First Team by virtue of individual championships.

Airy, Md./Linganore) (48 points), Nikki Woodward (Longmeadow, Mass./Longmeadow) (44), Carlyn Donley (Pittsburgh, Pa./Oakland Catholic) (43) and Laura Goeller (Wilmington, Del./Tower Hill School) (41).
