LEWISBURG, Pa. — Logan Schofield (Sr., Maumee, Ohio/St. Francis de Sales) of the Bucknell University water polo team capped off his intercollegiate career by claiming recognition as the men’s recipient of the school’s Ronald J. “Pete” Pedrick Award.
The Pedrick Award is “presented in recognition of demonstrated improvement and special contributions to Bucknell athletics over a four-year period”.
Each year, the Bucknell Department of Athletics & Recreation bestows 11 different awards to outstanding student-athletes in the senior class. These senior awards recognize a wide range of accomplishments, from on-field success, to academics, community service, commitment to diversity, and other contributions to the department and to the University.
His award statement highlights his level of progression during a four-year tenure with the Bison: Ohio native Logan Schofield progressed from playing sparingly during his first two seasons at Bucknell to becoming an Honorable Mention All-America selection as a junior and senior. He earned First Team All-Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference honors in both of those seasons, and he also collected a pair of All-Tournament citations. Playing the grueling center position on offense, Logan set the school record for most ejections drawn during his junior season, and his 297 career ejections drawn are second-most in school history, despite just two years of major playing time. Once of his best career games came in Bucknell’s thrilling 13-12 win over previously undefeated Harvard in this year’s NCAA Tournament first round. That day in Cambridge, Logan scored three goals and set up two penalty shots to help the Bison to their first NCAA win since 1985. Against No. 2 USC in the national quarterfinals, he scored twice in the early stages to help Bucknell grab the lead at the end of the first quarter. Logan, who has trained in California with the U.S. Junior National Team, scored a career-high 66 goals as a senior and 147 in his career.
