Siegrist Voted to Field Hockey Academic All-Patriot League Team

Madison’s Tayler Siegrist was among the Bucknell field hockey players named to the Academic All-Patriot League Team.

Siegrist was one of just three players to earn a second consecutive academic honor from the league.

The Bucknell junior currently has a 3.77 cumulative grade-point average while majoring in management. A four-time member of the Bucknell Dean’s List and three-time member of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) National Academic Squad, she has also earned four selections to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll as part of both the field hockey and track and field squads.

Her extracurricular activities include working with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, participating in the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy and tutoring in math, reading and accounting.

On the field, Siegrist has started all 18 games for the Bison as a defender. With the regular season at an end, she has five points on two goals and an assist to go along with a team-best two defensive saves.

A Second Team All-Patriot League selection as a sophomore, Siegrist has 26 career points thanks to eight goals and 10 assists. Siegrist has twice been a member of the Pennsylvania Junior Team at the USA Field Hockey High Performance Championships.

The Academic All-Patriot League Team was added for all sports beginning in the 2010-11 season to honor additional student-athletes who excel both on and off the field. The field hockey team has 11 student-athletes to equal the size of the sport’s All-Patriot League first team. Student-athletes must have at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA and be a starter or a key reserve. Award winners are determined by a vote of the league’s sports information directors who cannot vote for their own student-athletes.
