LEWISBURG, Pa.- The Bucknell softball team completed its strong 2023 season by placing 95% of the roster on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. The Bison softball squad put 20 student-athletes on the list to lead all Patriot League foes. The team notched a semester GPA of 3.75 to lead all Bucknell athletic squads.

Patriot League student-athletes are selected to the academic honor roll for achieving a 3.2 grade-point average (GPA) or better during the semester in which their League champion is crowned. This marks the sixth-consecutive academic year the League has topped 3,000 honor roll selections. The League previously had 1,184 student-athletes named to the fall academic honor roll.

The winter-spring academic honor roll is comprised of student-athletes from the 15 sports that conduct their League championship during the spring semester, including baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track & field, women's rowing and softball. The fall academic honor roll encompasses student-athletes from men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer, and volleyball.

Bucknell recorded a League-high 517 student-athletes on the academic honor roll, including 341 during the winter-spring season.

Zoie Smith was selected to the Patriot League All-Academic Team.

Among the 20 Honor Roll members are 18 who also made the Bucknell Dean's List with a GPA of 3.50 or better. Four Bison earned perfect 4.0 GPAs: Kaiya Burton, Annabella Hawkins, Chase Knapp, and Bella Radican.
