LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell senior Tyler Dunn was named the Patriot League Scholar Athlete of the Year as announced by the league office on Thursday. Dunn is joined by seniors Brady Karp and Ben Magovern with Academic All-Patriot League selections.
Dunn is the first Bison to be named Scholar Athlete of the Year since Tyler Wincig in 2019. Karp received an Academic All-PL selection for the second consecutive year, and this is Magovern’s first Academic All-PL honor.
Dunn, a four-year starter at first base, was named First Team All-Patriot League on Wednesday. On top of an incredible year, he carried an impressive 3.57 GPA.
He slashed .325/.492/.503, leading the team in all categories. He was second on the team with 41 hits and 10 doubles. He hit three home runs and had 30 RBIs.
Dunn drew a league-leading 41 walks to tie Bucknell’s single-season record. His .503 on-base percentage led the league and his .985 OPS ranked third. Among Division I programs, Dunn’s 41 walks ranked 45th, his 1.08 walks per game ranked sixth, and his on-base percentage ranked 39th.
Dunn was excellent at first base, sporting a .993 fielding percentage with only two errors. He finished his career with an impressive .992 fielding percentage.
Dunn finished his career with his name plastered on Bucknell’s career records. He ranks seventh in games played (178), seventh in games started (169), seventh in at-bats (626), 15th in hits (173), 13th in RBIs (112), second in walks (100), sixth in hit-by-pitches (25), 15th in doubles (33), and fourth in sacrifice flies (10).
Karp produced a strong season after missing a chunk of games early in the season with an injury. Karp hit .202 in in 31 games and produced a .405 on-base percentage. Karp mostly hit out of the nine-spot in the order, until moving to the lead off spot in Bucknell’s final two series.
Karp smashed four home runs on the year, including a home run in each of Bucknell’s final two games at Lafayette. Karp was great over the final few weeks of the season, racking up 12 hits and 12 RBIs in his last 12 games. Karp drew 17 walks, 13 hit-by-pitches, and only struck out 17 times.
Karp has maintained a 4.00 GPA during his career at Bucknell and was an Academic All-Patriot League last season. Karp is already a three-time member of the PL Academic Honor Roll.
Magovern had an excellent senior campaign after missing all of 2024 due to injury. Magovern was Bucknell’s No. 2 starter all season, producing a 5.13 ERA that ranked eighth in the PL.
The left-hander tossed 52.2 innings over 11 starts for the Bison. In six of his 11 starts, he has allowed two earned runs or less.
Magovern posted a 3.10 ERA over his final five appearances, giving quality starts in four of those games. He finished the season with a career-high 40 strikeouts and a 4-3 record.

Bucknell holds the co-league-lead with Holy Cross and Lafayette with three selections on the Academic All-PL teams. Bucknell has three selections for the second consecutive year, and have had multiple selections in each of the previous four seasons.
Bucknell finished the season with an 18-27 record, finishing in fifth in the Patriot League with a 10-15 record.

MEDFORD, Mass. – One of the most successful seasons in Bowdoin men’s lacrosse history came to a close on Sunday night, as the Polar Bears fell to Tufts in the semifinals of the NCAA Division III Tournament, 26-11. Bowdoin finishes its season with a record of 16-4 while the Jumbos (21-0) advance to the national title game next Sunday against Dickinson College.
Game Highlights
The game was tight in the early going, with Bowdoin holding a 2-1 lead eight minutes into the contest following a pair of Patrick Fitzgerald goals.
But Tufts took control with a 7-1 run over a nine-minute stretch that gave them the lead for good, 8-3, early in the second quarter.
Bowdoin was able to cut the lead to three goals on a pair of occasions, but a quick 5-1 Jumbos run right before the half made it 14-7 at the break.
Tufts scored eight of the first nine goals out of intermission to put the contest out of reach.
By The Numbers
Bowdoin’s 16 wins are the second most in a season in program history, trailing only the 2022 squad (18), which makes the 2025 Bowdoin men’s lacrosse class the winningest in program history (59).
Patrick Fitzgerald’s five goals in the game extended his single-season goal scoring mark to 84, and gives him 207 for his career, trailing only teammate Jason Lach, who finishes as Bowdoin’s all-time leading goal scorer with 208.
With 12 saves goaltender Robert Hobbs ends with a school-record 948 saves in his career and a program-best 59 wins.
Casey Ryan had two goals and three assists for Bowdoin, finishing the season with 65 assists to break the school’s single-season record set by Will Byrne last year (63).
The Polar Bears finish the year as NCAA semifinalists for the second straight season.

TEMPE, Ariz. – The ITA released its 2025 Division III Men’s Regional Award recipients Monday and Gustavus was honored twice. Marco Siviero was selected Central Region Arthur Ashe Leadership & Sportsmanship Award, while Dominik Knutson was named Central Region Player to Watch.
Siviero was also named the recipient of the prestigious Arthur Ashe Award for the MIAC recently. The award annually recognizes a senior men’s tennis student-athlete who exhibits outstanding sportsmanship and exemplary athletic, academic, and humanitarian accomplishments. Siviero started his senior campaign by earning All-America honors at the ITA Cup, advancing to the doubles semifinals with partner Josh Christensen. Siviero also finished runner up in the ITA Midwest Regional singles championship. Siviero owns a 15-12 overall record (4-0 MIAC) in singles and is 20-11 overall (5-0 MIAC) in doubles this season. Throughout his career, Siviero is 52-47 in singles and 72-22 in doubles.
“Marco contributes a beautiful blend of maturity, perspective, and intensity to bring out the best in himself and his entire team during competition,” said head coach Dr. Tommy Valentini after the MIAC awards. “He is a passionate young man who beautifully combines intensity with respect for the opponent and the game.”
A business management and communication studies double major with a 3.87 GPA at Gustavus, Siviero has been honored as a Singles All-American, Doubles All-American, and Academic All-American during his time as a Gustie.
“Coming from Brazil to a new culture and competitive atmosphere challenged me to adapt and to grow as an athlete, teammate, and individual,” Siviero said earlier this month. “Tennis allowed me to contribute to a cause bigger than my own goals. I learned what it means to compete for something greater than myself.”
Knutson was named the ITA Central Region Player to Watch after a successful sophomore campaign. Knutson boasted a 20-7 overall record in singles and went 4-0 in MIAC play. Knutson played primarily at No. 4 singles where he went 9-5. He also played at No. 2 (2-0) and No. 3 (5-1).
In doubles action, Knutson went 17-9 overall and was 5-0 against conference opponents, earning All-Conference honors. Knutson played primarily with Siviero at No. 2, going 7-5. They also played at No. 1 with a 4-0 record. Knutson played 10 matches with Taona Mhwandagara and went 6-4.

DULUTH — The 2025 Professional Women’s Hockey League Finals get underway at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Canada’s capital city when the Ottawa Charge host the defending PWHL Walter Cup champion Minnesota Frost at TD Place Arena.
Eight alumni of the Minnesota Duluth women’s hockey program will be on the ice in the best-of-five championship series, with three going for back-to-back titles with Minnesota while five chase their first PWHL championship in Ottawa.
The Charge feature former Bulldogs captains
Mannon McMahon,
Ashton Bell
and
Gabbie Hughes,
as well as Czechia legend Katerina Mrazova and two-time Olympic gold medalist
Jocelyne Larocque
— another former UMD captain, who was traded from Toronto to Ottawa a month into the 2024-25 season.
A sixth former Bulldog, Haley Irwin, is on the Charge bench as an assistant coach. Irwin is also a former UMD captain and teammate of Larocque’s.
Olympic goal medalist
Maddie Rooney,
2024 Walter Cup finals star
Michela Cava
and defenseman Maggie Flaherty are back with the Frost this year.
Cava is having another standout postseason, ranking fourth in the PWHL in playoff points with five, while her three goals are tied with Frost teammate Lee Stecklein for first through the semifinals.
The fourth-seeded Frost and third-seeded Charge both won their semifinal series as underdogs in four games after both teams
clinched playoff berths on the final day of the 2024-25 regular season.
Lower seeds are now 5-0 in the PWHL playoffs with Toronto and Montreal — the top two seeds the first two years — losing in the semifinals each season.
The Charge host Games 1 and 2 at 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday in Ottawa, while Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul gets Games 3 and 4 over the Memorial Day weekend at 4 p.m. on Saturday and Monday. If necessary, Game 5 would be Wednesday, May 28, back in Ottawa.
The Winnipeg “Bulldogs” are out of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs after the top-seeded Jets lost in six games to the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference semifinals. Hermantown natives Neal Pionk and Dylan Samber, Duluth native Dominic Toninato and All-American Alex Iafallo
were the final four former Bulldogs left
in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Pionk led all Jets’ defensemen in scoring and was tied for third on the team in points with seven goals and six assists. He led all Jets in average time on ice with 24 minutes, 25 seconds. Samberg was second at 24:04.
Ten former Bulldogs have declared for the 2025 PWHL Draft on June 24, including seven members of the 2024-25 Bulldogs: Jenna Lawry, Olivia Mobley, Clara Van Wieren, Olivia Wallin, Hanna Baskin, Nina Jobst-Smith and Tindra Holm. Former Bulldogs Kas Betinol, Reece Hunt and Naomi Rogge
have also declared.
Six former Bulldogs will be eligible for the PWHL Expansion Draft on June 9 if not protected. They include Bell, Hughes, Larocque, McMahon, Mrazova and Anneke (Linser) Rankila of Toronto.
Seattle and Vancouver are joining the league in 2025-26.
Players must be under contract for 2025-26 to be eligible for the expansion draft or protection. Teams may only protect three players, though a fourth can be added once two players are selected. Each team will lose four players.
