Patriot League Pitcher of the Week with 11 Ks in Complete-Game Victory
Bucknell freshman pitcher Avery Powers is a dominant differentiator on the mound, earning 2026 Patriot League Pitcher of the Week honors after a complete-game victory featuring 11 strikeouts over 8.0 innings while allowing just two runs[1]. Her elite strikeout ability and composure under pressure stand out even as the Bison navigate a tough early season (1-13 record)[3]. Powers displays an intensity level that belies her freshman status, consistently locking in batters with a high-velocity approach that makes her an immediate anchor for any pitching staff. If you need a pitcher who can shut down opponents single-handedly and elevate a team's morale with her relentless drive, Powers is a top-tier fit.
