LEWISBURG, Pa. - After piling up 10 points in two Bucknell victories last week, women's lacrosse standout Bonnie Buechel has been named the Damon's Bison Athlete of the Week.

Following the 10-point week, Buechel now has 19 goals and four assists for 23 points on the season. She leads the team and ranks sixth in the Patriot League in goals, and she is second on the team and ninth in the league in total points.
Bucknell has now won four straight games to improve to 4-3 on the season, outscoring their opponents 54-32 during the streak. The Bison have a non-league game at home on Wednesday night against UC Davis before traveling to Colgate on Saturday afternoon.
