Game Two: Bucknell 4, UC San Diego 11
The two teams engaged in a defensive battle early on, with the Tritons and the Bison each netting just one goal in the first period. The Tritons scored just 30 seconds into the game before a goal from A. Furano knotted things up at one with 1:25 left in the period.
Bucknell kept things close in the second, limiting the Tritons to two goals, but could not manage a tally of their own as they fell behind 3-1 entering the halftime intermission.
Konishi cut into the UCSD lead one minute into the third period with a goal, but the Tritons answered right back with a goal of their own at the 6:45 mark of the third. The goal for UCSD would be one of three straight unanswered in the third, before Hyham stopped the run with an even strength goal with 3:54 left in the third.
However, UCSD pulled two more goals to end the third and held on for an 11-4 victory in the fourth.
Konishi scored twice, while A. Furano and Hyham notched the other two goals for the Bison. Bucknell outshot the Tritons 26-22, but only managed to convert .154 of their shots on the day. Hayley Pogue made five saves in the cage for Bucknell.
