About the Bison
• Bucknell hits the road for its final road series of the regular season this weekend. The Bison will face Army in West Point, N.Y. for doubleheader action on both Saturday and Sunday. The series is an important one for the Bison, who sit tied for third in Patriot League standings and are two games behind second-place Colgate.
• Senior Jess Hom is coming off one of her best series of the season at Lehigh. Hom went 5-for-12 at the plate with a double and an RBI. Hom's double in the top of the eighth in game one against the Mountain Hawks drove in the game-winning run, and she was recognized as an honorable mention for Patriot League Player of the Week for her efforts.
• Rookie Niki Mabry also had one of her better weekends as a Bison. Mabry went 4-for-12 with a run scored and reached three times on walks. Her four hits were matched by junior Sarah Baluch, who added a pair of doubles to her career total. Senior Jazmyn Stokes posted two doubles as well in a 3-for-6 weekend.
• Rookie Zoie Smith led the Bison in RBIs last weekend despite recording just one hit. Smith's three-run home run in Bucknell's win over Lehigh was her sixth homer of the season, and she leads the Bison in the category. Smith also leads the Bison with 22 RBIs this season.
• Taylor Wolfgang is third on the team with 16 RBIs and added three more hits over the weekend to tie for second on the roster with 20 this spring.
