Bucknell at a Glance
• Bucknell finished dual competition with an 8-1 (6-1 Patriot League) record after dispatching Lehigh, 161-137, on Jan. 26 at Kinney Natatorium.
• With their Senior Day triumph, the Bison reached the eight-win threshold for the first time since the 2013-14 campaign, when they went 8-2 (6-0 Patriot League). Bucknell used 28 top-three finishes to down the Mountain Hawks, who also entered the rivalry meet with a 7-1 overall record.
• Julie Byrne was the standout for the Bison, winning the 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke and teaming with Mary Weinstein, Alexis Faria and Megan Koczur for a first-place showing in the 200 medley relay. Bucknell's other individual champions were Maddie Hartigan (500 freestyle), Jessica Hurlburt (1-meter dive), Abby Merriman (1,000 freestyle), Lindsay Smalec (100 butterfly) and Maggie Wyngowski (100 breaststroke).

• The Bison hosted all eight of their 2018-19 dual meets at Kinney Natatorium. Their dual meet against Wagner, which was scheduled for Jan. 20 at Columbia's Percy Uris Natatorium, was canceled due to the snowstorm that hit the Northeast. It would have been their first, and only, dual meet on the road this season.
• In 2017-18, the Bison went 6-3 (4-2 Patriot League) in dual meets. Bucknell went on to place fourth (423 points) at the 10-team Patriot League Championships and third (309 points) at the 24-team ECAC Championships.
