About the Bison
• Bucknell looks to clinch a spot in the Patriot League Tournament with a win over Holy Cross on Saturday. The Bison have made the postseason in each of head coach Jeremy Cook's first 10 seasons with the team.

• Senior Nicole Rupnik recently moved into a tie for 10th in program history with her 25th career goal. Her next goal would move her into a tie for eighth with Sue Lenker (1980-83) and Kelly Bruvik (2007-10). Her six goals this season are two away from her career-high of eight as a sophomore.
