Bucknell University Athletics announced that freshman golfer Charlie Barrickman and senior field‑hockey defender Julia Corropolese have been named the latest Men’s and Women’s Bison of the Week, honoring performances that have elevated the campus profile in both sports.
Barrickman captured the Alex Lagowitz Memorial Tournament in his very first collegiate event, posting a 7‑under‑par 209 (69‑71‑69) to claim a two‑shot victory over Will Hennessee at Colgate’s Seven Oaks Golf Club, a feat that also set a new freshman record for the lowest first‑round score of 69 in a Bucknell golfer’s debut round.
Golf Excellence
The Bison finished fifth among 13 teams with a collective score of 868, and they are slated to return to action in two weeks at The Goat before traveling to the United States Naval Academy Golf Course in Annapolis for a match hosted by Navy.
Meanwhile, the field‑hockey program improved to a perfect 4‑0 record, marking its best opening stretch since 1984 and establishing the Patriot League’s top defensive metric of just 0.75 goals allowed per game.
Field Hockey Momentum
Corropolese was instrumental in the Bison’s success, delivering a clutch save in the closing minutes of a 2‑1 win over Quinnipiac and adding a penalty‑corner goal against undefeated Cornell, where she also limited the Big Red to a single tally despite facing 20 shots and nine corner opportunities.
Looking ahead, the field‑hockey squad will face No. 12 Syracuse this Sunday in a highly anticipated showdown that could further test the Bison’s rising momentum.
