The GoBonnies.com CPL Athletes of the Week for the week ending April 10, 2022 are men's track freshman Zach Buckner and women's softball junior Olivia Moon.
 
At the UB Spring Opener April 8, Buckner ran a time of 1:59.61 in the 800 meters to write his name into the Bonnies record books yet again as the first athlete in program history to break the 2-minute mark in the event.
 
This time qualifies him for Atlantic 10 Championships.
 
The Fairview, Pa. native continues his success as a first-year collegiate runner as he now owns four Bonnies track records – two outdoor (800, 5000) and two indoor (800, 5000) and also stands third in the indoor 3000. Also, Buckner was a part of the 4000-meter distance medley relay record-setting team at Atlantic 10 Indoor Championships in February.
 
His time in the 800-meters earned him fifth overall out of 25 competitors.
 
During five games this week, Moon hit .308 with an on-base percentage of .400 and a slugging percentage of .462 in 13 at-bats. Over the last 10 games, she has hit .385.
 
In game one of the doubleheader against UB this past Wednesday Moon ripped an RBI double to right field.
 
This past weekend at Rhode Island she went 2-for-4 with two RBIs in game one of the three-game series.
 
The Perry, Ohio native leads the team in batting average (.288), slugging percentage (.375), RBIs (14), and doubles (7).
 
Also, her 23 hits this season puts her second behind teammate Brooke Bobbey (24 hits) for the team lead.
 
The Bonnies will be back at Joyce Field on Wednesday, April 13 for a doubleheader against Youngstown State beginning at 2:00 p.m.
