LEWISBURG, Pa. – Suzanne Raffaele '03, a 2014 Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame inductee and the all-time leading goal-scorer in the history of the Bucknell women's lacrosse program, was named to the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team on Tuesday.
A four-time All-Patriot League selection and the 2003 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, Raffaele compiled a school-record 144 goals during her collegiate career that spanned 2000-03. At the time, Raffaele was just the fourth Bucknell player to reach the 100-goal mark, and in 2003 she became the sixth player in conference history to earn All-Patriot League honors in all four years of her career.
As a senior, she was named to the Brine/IWLCA All-Region Second Team, becoming only the third Bison to achieve that honor. Not only was Raffaele the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year as a senior in 2003, but she also earned Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors and was the lone Patriot League player selected for the North-South All-Star Game. Raffaele produced four straight 30-goal seasons, and her 173 career points was also a school record at the time of her graduation and now ranks No. 3.
