Dianne T. Czarnecki ’87

Field Hockey, Softball

Dianne Czarnecki was a four-year letterwinner and an all-conference selection in field hockey and softball at Bucknell. A two-time East Coast Conference selection as a member of the Bison softball team, Czarnecki was also named all-region following her senior year. Head coach Terrie Grieb described her as having a great glove and a cannon for an arm. She was a leader both on and off the field and a perfectionist. From the hot corner at third base, Czarnecki posted a then-record 214 career assists. In field hockey, she played midfield and became the first Bison to receive All-East Coast Conference honors for three straight years. She was named to the regional All-America second team and ended her career as the fifth-leading scorer in school history. (Bucknell Hall of Fame Class of 1999)
