Becomes Second Bison Freshman to Win the Award This Season
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Freshman defender Zach Hurchalla has been named the Patriot League Rookie of the Week after helping the Bison to a 2-0 week in wins over Northeastern and Boston University.
The Chester Springs, Pa. native picked up an assist in each game during the week, and has now picked out three assists as a defender this season. Hurchalla started the season as a center back, but moved to the left back spot in more recent fixtures.
Hurchalla becomes the second Bison freshman to win the award this season, after Eddie Perez-Pelaez garnered the award the opening week of the season.
The freshman went the distance in both games this week, and has started 10 of Bucknell's 13 games this season. Hurchalla assisted Chris Masur's equalizing goal against the Huskies on Tuesday before playing a nice pass to Patrick O'Hara to help kick start Kevin Gulizio's goal in Bucknell's 3-0 win over Boston University.
Hurchalla also played an important role in Bucknell's defensive effort, as he has played the full 90 minutes in both of Bucknell's shut out victories this season.
Hurchalla and the Bison squad will take on Binghamton on Tuesday before hosting Army on Saturday for Senior Day.
