LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell senior Kristen Zahn has been named to the All-Mid-Atlantic Region Second Team by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. The Bison have had an All-Region selection in each of the past two seasons.
Zahn was voted the Patriot League Player of the Year after leading the conference with a Bucknell single-season record 53 RBIs. She also led the league in doubles with 15, which tied a school record, and in hit-by-pitches with nine. She ranked in the top five in batting average (.385), slugging (.609), on-base percentage (.481), runs (37), hits (60), home runs (6), total bases (95) and walks (21).
Zahn closes her career as a three-time All-Patriot League honoree, including First Team status as a senior. She led the charge as the Bison set a program record with 35 wins this season and a second straight appearance in the conference championship game.
Thanks to a consistent career and outstanding senior season, Zahn will leave the program with her name all over the school's record books.
