LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell junior Abby Gearhart was selected as the Patriot League Midfielder of the Week following her two-goal performance against league-leading Boston University on Saturday.
Gearhart scored a goal in each half, with both giving the Bison the lead, although the Terriers used a late tally to salvage a 2-2 draw in a highly entertaining match between two sides that have been stationed at the top of the Patriot League table all season.
Gearhart's first career brace gives her five goals to go with four assists on the season. She ranks fourth in the Patriot League with 14 points, and her five goals are tied for fifth-most in the conference.
Saturday's draw left Bucknell with a 4-1-2 Patriot League record and 14 points. The Bison and Loyola (4-1-2) are tied for second place, two points behind Boston University (5-1-1). Navy (4-2-1) is in fourth place on 13 points.
The top six teams qualify for the Patriot League Tournament, and the higher-seeded team will host each game throughout the tournament.
Bucknell has two games remaining in the regular season, both on the road. The Bison will visit Army West Point this Friday before traveling to Lehigh the following Wednesday.
