Three Goals Earn Leah Fogelsanger Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week Award

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell field hockey's Leah Fogelsanger was named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week after guiding the Bison's offense with three goals in two winning efforts last week.

Fogelsanger scored twice in five minutes during Bucknell's 6-1 victory of Colgate on Saturday. It was the first two-goal performance of Fogelsanger's career.

Fogelsanger's first goal in Saturday's game came three minutes after the Raiders scored in the fourth quarter. The junior forward caught a centering pass from the end line and poked it home to give the Bison their fifth goal of the game. The second was on a penalty corner with under a minute to go in the game.

In Monday's win over Yale, Fogelsanger got the Bison scoring started with a goal in the first four minutes of play. The Bloomsburg, Pa. native also attempted a game-high five shots in each contest.

With five goals and two assists on the season, Fogelsanger now sits among five other Bison with 12 or more points, which also ranks among the top-10 in the Patriot League. Defender Kaelyn Long and goalkeeper Olivia Harris were also recognized as honorable mentions for outstanding performances this week.

The Bison return to play on Friday when they face the second-place Lafayette Leopards in Easton, Pa. Friday's game is scheduled for noon.
