About the Bison

Bucknell plays in its second spring event, on the heels of a strong showing at the Kiawah Island Spring Classic.
The Bison will send out Katie Childers, Meredith Langs, Erin Holmes, Casey Morrow and Sally Sohn this week, with Morgan Hennessy and Sun Woo Jeon competing as individuals.
The Bison improved in each round in their spring debut at Kiawah, posting scores of 323-310-306. Bucknell finished in 39th place in a talented 49-team field.
Childers was the low Bison at Kiawah, posting 77-75-75 for a T-86th finish in a field of 253 competitors. Langs (83-75-76), Holmes (79-82-76), Sohn (86-80-79) and Morrow (84-80-83) also saw action.
The Bison are coming off a tremendous fall season in which they competed in five tournaments and set a school record with a 310.1 team scoring average. The previous mark was 312.0 by the 2011-12 squad.
Bucknell chopped more than nine strokes off its average from last season, and one of the reasons was significant improvement throughout the lineup. The Bison only had to count a score in the 80s five times in 15 rounds in the fall
Also setting a fall scoring record was senior Childers with a 76.1 average in 15 rounds. The senior bettered the record of 76.8, set last season by former teammate Lindsay Dodovich.
Along with Childers, Morrow (76.7), Holmes (78.7), Sohn (79.5) and Langs (79.9) gave Bucknell five players with averages in the 70s for the first time in team history.
Morrow had the low round of the fall with an even-par 72 in the final round of the Pinehurst Challenge.

The Bison at the Bucknell Spring Break Challenge

This is the inaugural Bucknell Spring Break Challenge, as the Bison are hosting an off-campus event for the first time under head coach Lisa Francisco.
The Bison will be one of two Patriot League squads in the field, alongside defending PL champion Richmond. The Spiders edged the Bison by six strokes over 54 holes at Kiawah two weeks ago.
