Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physi- cal skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Patriot League Academic Honor Roll members Being a Bison also means that Kristin Bretscher and John Picardo you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associ- ated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pres- sure, are but a part of a well-round- ed college experience. At Bucknell, our students, fac- ulty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the pur- est sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime. www.BucknellBison.com 1 2009-10 2009-10 2009-10 2009-10 2009-10 2009-10 2009 Academic All-District Academic All-District Academic All-District Academic All-District Academic All-District Academic All-District PL Offensive Player of Year SARAH EBRIGHT ANDREW BROUSE ALLISON JANDA TOMMY CASO JOYCE NOVACEK KYLE ANTHONY CHRISTA MATLACK Bucknell Bison Athletics Setting the Standard of Excellence Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence
