LEWISBURG, Pa. – Freshman Paige Richter of the Bucknell women's golf team has been selected as the Bison of the Week after a terrific performance at the Patriot League Championship over the weekend. In her postseason debut, Richter finished in a tie for seventh place and earned Second Team All-Patriot League honors.
Richter made four birdies on the way to an even-par 72 in the final round, and her 54-hole total of 220 is the lowest on a par-72 course in team history. That tally is also the lowest in Bucknell's postseason history. The previous holder of both records was Minjoo Lee, who shot 224 (70-74-80) at the 2010 Big South Championship.
Richter is Bucknell's first All-Patriot League honoree since Katie Childers finished fifth at Navy in 2018. Her final-round 72 came on the heels of a 73 and a 75, the latter wrapping up on Sunday morning after second-round play was suspended due to thunderstorms on Saturday.
Richter's 10 birdies in the tournament were second-most in the field, trailing only Lehigh's Yuki Zhu with 11.
Bucknell finished in fifth place at the Patriot League Championship, and the team's 54-hole total of 907 was also a school record for a par-72 course and its lowest in a postseason round by 20 strokes.
