Bucknell at a Glance
• The Bison are currently 4-12 (2-6 Patriot League) following their losses to No. 10/11 Loyola (1-21) and Lehigh (10-13) last week. Their game against the Mountain Hawks was their home finale.
• Bucknell remains in the running for the Patriot League Tournament but needs help to return to postseason competition after a one-year absence. The Bison need a win over Army West Point, an American win over Lehigh and a Holy Cross win over Loyola to create a four-way tie with American, Holy Cross and Lehigh at 3-6.
• 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 Lillie 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.

Army West Point at a Glance
• Army West Point broke out in its fourth season of competition and currently boasts an impressive 12-4 (5-3 Patriot League) record.
• The Black Knights have already clinched their first ever Patriot League Tournament berth. With a win over Bucknell and a Boston University loss to Navy, they will be the third seed; they will be the fourth seed with a loss to Bucknell or a Boston University victory over Navy.
• Caroline Raymond (36g-23a), Jackie Brattan (51g) and Samantha Stewart (32g-17a) are Army West Point's top point producers. Brattan is also the team leader with 87 draw controls.
• After winning five games in each of its first two campaigns, Army West Point reached the double digits in victories with a 10-7 (4-5 Patriot League) record a year ago. The Black Knights narrowly missed out on the 2018 Patriot League Tournament that year, losing the tiebreaker with Holy Cross for the sixth and final spot.
• This will be the fourth meeting between Army West Point and Bucknell.
• A year ago, the Black Knights spoiled the Bison's Senior Day with a tight 10-9 victory at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. With 35 seconds remaining in regulation, Maddie Miller found Rilee Scott alone in front of the net for the go-ahead goal.
• Between the two teams, 16 different players found the back of the net. Only Audrey Walsh (2g) and Army West Point's Cameron Manor (2g) and Scott (2g) enjoyed multi-goal outings. Army West Point's Rachel Hornick led all players with four points (1g-3a). For Bucknell, Eve Calabria (1g-1a) and Lillie Hunt (2a) also posted multiple points.
• The Bison won the previous two meetings in 2016 (19-9) and 2017 (11-8).
