LEWISBURG, Pa. - The Bucknell softball team defeated Lafayette 1-0 in 10 innings Thursday to advance to the winner's bracket of the Patriot League Softball Tournament. Due to inclement weather in the Lehigh Valley, the Bison will have to wait until Saturday to face No. 1 seed Lehigh with a berth in the championship round on the line.
The second day of the Patriot League Tournament was postponed and will now be played on Saturday at Kaufman Field. Third-seeded Bucknell and Lehigh will square off in the first of three games at 10 a.m., while No. 2 Lafayette and No. 4 Army will battle in an elimination game at 12 p.m. The loser of the Bucknell-Lehigh game will then face the winner of the Lafayette-Army contest at approximately 2:30 with the winner advancing to Sunday's championship round.
