ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Bucknell's men's water polo team dropped a 15-8 decision to St. Francis (N.Y.) in their second game of the ECAC's on Saturday, October 26, 2002. The squad fell to the Cougars for the third time this season.
The two teams battled to a 2-2 tie after the first quarter, but a 6-3 outburst by St. Francis spelled doom for Bucknell in the second. The Bison were forced to play catch up the rest of the way and the 16th-ranked Cougars held on for the seven-point victory.
Seniors Daniel Lonnerdal and Chris Saxton, and sophomore Elliot Benoist each scored two times in the contest. Lonnerdal and freshman Bradley Roslyn had two assists a piece.
