Colin Eifert Named Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell senior center back Colin Eifert earned Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honors on Monday after he helped the Bison to a 110-minute shutout of Boston University.

The Bison and Terriers played to a scoreless draw at Emmitt Field, thanks in large part to the efforts of Eifert on his Senior Day. The Bucknell defense limited Boston University to only one shot on target all day, and the defense was particularly stout in overtime, when a second yellow card shown to the starting goalkeeper meant that the Bison had to turn to a first-year netminder playing his first minutes of the season.

Bucknell is now 2-3-2 in Patriot League play this season. The Bison are tied for eighth place on eight points, but they are only two points out of the sixth and final Patriot League Tournament berth. Two games remain on the regular-season schedule: at Navy this Saturday and home against Loyola the following Wednesday.
