About the Bison

Bucknell heads into the weekend having won its last three consecutive games, which included two wins against fellow MAWPC conference rivals George Washington (W 13-11) and Johns Hopkins (W 17-16), and No. 20 Air Force (W, 13-8).
The Bison and Midshipmen will meet for the first time this season. However, this weekend's match-up will mark the 119th time the two school teams have faced off.
In the team's last 10 meetings, Bucknell and Navy are currently 5-5 against one another.
The Bison went up against the Mids three times in the 2022 season. Navy walked away with two regular-season wins, and Bucknell clinched the conference championship.
Sophomore attacker Aleksa Stefanovic was selected as this week's Bison of the Week. Stefanovic had a standout weekend in the pool for the Bison, notching five goals against George Washington, the most he tallied in a single game this year.
Stefanovic leads the team in goals with 18, followed by junior attacker Shay Gillearn with 13 goals.
First-year goalie David Dumitru tallied 14 saves against George Washington.
