BUCKNELL IN THE PATRIOT LEAGUE TOURNAMENT: This year marks the first time in five years that Bucknell enters the tournament as anything other than the second seed ... The Orange and Blue have won four first round games in the 11-year history of the league ... The last first-round game the Bison won was, ironically, against Navy (72-57) in the 2001-02 tournament ... Bucknell is facing Navy in the first round for the third time in four years.
FEDORJAKA AND THE TOURNAMENT: Three years ago, when Bucknell won two tournament games to get to the championship tilt against Holy Cross, was the first time head coach Kathy Fedorjaka experienced a win in the Patriot League Tournament. Now at 4-3 in her five seasons, she has suffered losses to Lehigh (59-55, 1997-98), Army (72-67, 1998-99) and Colgate (85-69, 2000-01). Under her watch, when the Bison have won the first round game, they have advanced to the finals.
BUCKNELL VS. LEAGUE: Following is a record of Bucknell vs. every Patriot League school in the tournament. The Bison are 6-9 in tournament action: American - 0-0 Army - 2-1 Colgate - 2-2 Holy Cross - 0-2 Lafayette - 0-2 Lehigh - 0-1 Navy - 2-0
