Theodorsson Lands Second Patriot League Rookie of the Week Award

LEWISBURG, Pa.- The Patriot League office announced Monday that Emma Theodorsson earned Patriot League Rookie of the Week for her performances against American and Boston U. This is the second time that the freshman from Moon Township has been selected. She previously won the honor on Jan. 9, 2023.

"I am happy for Emma," said head coach Trevor Woodruff. "We have asked a lot of her this season, and she is responding with consistent improvement."

Theodorsson led the Bison with 16 points on 7-out-of-12 shooting in the 64-52 victory over American. Theodorsson scored 11 of her 16 points in the second half to launch the Bison to a much-needed road victory.

Against Boston University on Senior Day, Theodorsson deposited nine points to finish as the third-highest scorer on the squad. Her seven points in the first quarter enabled Bucknell to seize the lead after one period of play.

During the week of play, Theodorsson scored 25 points, collected five rebounds, spread around two assists, and nabbed two steals. Her 25 points were on the team behind Cecelia Collins' effort of 28.

Theodorsson has scored in double-digits seven times on the season, including five times in Patriot League competition.

Her 7.5 points per game are fourth-best on the team. She is averaging 8.9 ppg in conference play which is also fourth on the team.

Theodorsson and the Bison return on Feb. 22 for an in-state showdown at Sojka against Lehigh.
