LEWISBURG, Pa. – Volleyball's Kelsey O'Loughlin has been named the Patriot League's Rookie of the Week following a pair of outstanding performances in the Bison's first weekend of league play. It's the fourth Rookie of the Week award the freshman has won this season.
O'Loughlin remains the Patriot League's leader in assists per set after totaling 86 in the Bison's two matches played this weekend. The freshman posted 39 assists in Bucknell's Patriot League opener against Lehigh on Saturday, then recorded 47 in the team's win over Lafayette Sunday. The 47 assists were the second-most she's recorded in a match this season behind a 56-assist outing against Central Connecticut State.
For a sixth time this season the freshman recorded double-digit digs with 13 against Lehigh, following that up with seven more against the Leopards. Four total blocks against the Mountain Hawks were also a career-high. Offensively, O'Loughlin recorded six kills on 18 attempts while committing just one error.
Halfway through the Bison's schedule, O'Loughlin has a team-high 542 assists and 17 service aces.
O'Loughlin and the Bison travel to Loyola and American next weekend for the first Patriot League road contests of the season.
