SHAMOKIN DAM, Pa. – The Bucknell rowing team swept three races from Villanova and engaged in a close battle with Delaware on Saturday afternoon on the Susquehanna River. It was a good day for the Bison Fours, as the 1V4+ and 2V4+ both went 2-0 on the day.

Prior to the competition, Bucknell held its annual Senior Oar Ceremony, honoring Class of 2023 members Elizabeth Berlinger, Caroline Brandt, Riley DeBaecke, Georgia Lambrakis, Millie Malloy, Ava Rysman, Chloe Segal, Gaby Wakim, and Maddie Wickers.

The Bison began the day rowing head-to-head against Delaware, while Villanova took on Connecticut. The Blue Hens clipped Bucknell by just over two seconds in the in the Varsity Eight and by only 1.5 seconds in the Second Varsity Eight. The Bison came back and won both Fours. The 1V4+ crossed the line four seconds ahead of Delaware, while the 2V4+ won by open water.

Later in the day, the Bison swept Villanova in the 1V8+, 2V8+, and 1V4+. Both Eights were close, with Bucknell winning by about two seconds apiece. The 2V4+ returned to defeat both UConn and Delaware, and Bucknell's 3V8+ finished off the session with an eight-second win over Delaware.

The Bison will next be in action on May 12 at the Patriot League Championships on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass.
