Bucknell at a Glance
• The Bison are currently 4-8 (2-2 Patriot League) after downing Lafayette in overtime, 16-15, on March 27 and being edged by Colgate, 12-11, on March 30. Their overtime victory over the Leopards, which came on a Lillie Hunt goal, was their second in three games.
• In 2018, Bucknell went 3-13 (1-8 Patriot League). The Bison, who placed ninth in the Patriot League a year ago, were picked to finish in the same spot in 2019, as voted on by the league's coaches and sports information directors in the preseason poll.
• Bucknell qualified for back-to-back Patriot League Tournaments for the second time in program history in 2016 and 2017. The Bison were young and inexperienced a year ago, having lost three of their top five point producers and their two All-Patriot League honorees from 2017. Half of their Patriot League losses in 2018 came by three goals or fewer.
• Bucknell's captains are Callie DeWitt, Jamisen DeWitt, Sarah Dohler and Audrey Walsh. All four are first-time captains and will lead a young team featuring 21 underclassmen.
• J. DeWitt was recognized on the 2019 Preseason All-Patriot League Team. A 2018 All-Patriot League Second Team honoree, she led the Patriot League and finished ninth nationally in saves per game (10.75) that season. Against UMBC on March 21, she became the seventh Bison to make 500 career saves and also broke the program's record in career ground balls.
• The Bison return their top four leading scorers from a year ago in Eve Calabria (19g-14a), Morgan Steinhacker (18g), Walsh (14g-3a) and Hunt (8g-8a).
• Walsh, who battled injuries throughout the 2018 campaign, previously led the team in scoring as a sophomore in 2017. That year, she racked up 46 points (26g-20a).
• Remington Steele is his second year at the helm of the Bucknell women's lacrosse team.

Down 12-5 with 20:52 left to play, Bucknell scored six unanswered goals, with Sarah Dohler and Sarah Galzerano each completing a hat trick by striking twice during that game-changing run.
• In 2017, the Bison edged the Crusaders, 11-8, in Worcester, Mass.
