WILLIAMSBURG, Va.--The Bucknell University women's track and field team sits in fourth place after the first two days thanks to several strong performances. UMass Lowell leads the field currently at 38.75 points, with William & Mary (37), George Mason (32.50), Bucknell (32), and James Madison (30) making up the rest of the top five.

With injuries and a few key people not here, our depth is not quite where we want it," said Head Coach Kevin Donner. "A couple big wins by Maura and Molly in the javelin and hammer plus a few other scorers really puts us in a good position for a high team place."
