Center Valley, Pa. - The three schools that won the Patriot League field hockey contests over the weekend were all honored with a weekly award on Monday, as Bucknell sophomore Corrine Raczek earned Offensive Player of the Week recognition, Lafayette senior Jaclyn DiSanti was named the League's Defensive Player of the Week and American freshman Tatum Dyer received the Rookie of the Week award. Holy Cross senior Erin Singleton rounds out the weekly winners as the Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week.
Raczek led Bucknell to a come-from-behind, 2-1, win over Lehigh by scoring the game-tying goal and assisting on the game-winner with 1:27 to go in the contest. DiSanti recorded an assist and led a Lafayette defense that held Holy Cross without a single shot or penalty corner in a 1-0 Leopard victory. Singleton totaled 30 saves in three games, including a career-high 14 against Columbia, for the Crusaders. Dyer played the entire way on defense in American's 2-0 victory over Colgate.
