On Sunday against Bucknell on Senior Day, Susek scored the first goal of the game in the 14th minute and assisted on SU's second goal late in the first half.
She finished the regular season tied the team and BIG EAST lead with 17 goals, lead the team and conference in shots (75) and was second on the Orange and BIG EAST in point (40).
