STATE COLLEGE, Pa. --Junior Kasha Scott recorded her first career sub-par round with a 1-under 71 on Saturday, helping the Bucknell women's golf team shave 10 strokes off its opening-round score and move up one spot into 15th place at the Nittany Lion Invitational. The Bison posted a 316 team score for a 36-hole total of 642, with one round still to come on Sunday.
