LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell women's swimming and diving team returns to action with a pair of Patriot League meets this weekend after more than a month break from competition. The Bison will be on the road on consecutive days as they compete at Army West Point on Saturday at noon and at Colgate on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Bison last competed on Nov. 22 when they finished fourth out of nine teams at the Bucknell Invitational. Prior to that they competed in six meets, including five that were scored, posting a record of 2-3. They have recorded victories over Lafayette and American, both of which came at a quad meet at Navy.

Bucknell had numerous outstanding individual and relay performances at the Bucknell Invitational, swimming 15 top-10 times at the three-day event.

After this weekend, Bucknell has just three events prior to the Patriot League Championships. The Bison will be at home against Wagner on Sunday, Jan. 17, on the road against Lehigh on Saturday, Jan. 23 and at the Navy Invite on Saturday, Jan. 30.
