Switzer
Wyoming Area graduate Makenzie Switzer was one of three Lafayette players named to the first team when All-Patriot League selections were announced Tuesday.
The junior is part of a defensive unit that has limited opponents to 7.7 shots and 1.1 goals per game.
Lafayette defeated Bucknell 2-1 Thursday to reach Saturday’s Patriot League championship game against American. The Leopards went 5-1 in the Patriot regular season and took a five-game winning streak and 13-6 overall record into Saturday’s game in Washington, D.C.
Switzer has started all 19 games. She has taken 10 shots, four of which were on goal.
The first-team All-Patriot League selection is the second straight for Switzer, who also started all 19 games last season. She had one assist a year ago when she made the Patriot All-Tournament Team and was named All-Mideast Region by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association.
A two-time Patriot Academic Honor Roll selection, Switzer appeared in 18 games and made 14 starts as a freshman in 2022.
