LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell junior outside back Katie Schiano made significant contributions at both ends of the pitch last week, and on Monday she was recognized with a Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week citation.
Schiano played the full 90 minutes at right back in Bucknell's 1-1 home draw with Villanova on Thursday night. The Bison allowed just the single goal against a Wildcats side that is currently 3-0-2 with an 11-2 goal differential on the season.
In Sunday's 3-1 road win over La Salle, the Bison conceded an early goal but then scored three goals in a row while allowing only four more shots on target the rest of the way. Schiano scored the second of those goals in the 25th minute. Her first career tally came on a running header off Teresa Deda's corner kick, and it held up as the game-winning goal.
Bucknell is 3-2-1 on the season, with all three wins coming against teams from the Atlantic 10. The Bison are home for two matches later this week. Colorado College visits on Thursday at 7 p.m., followed by Air Force on Sunday at noon.
