MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa.- The Bucknell Bison (3-4) won its third straight game and first road contest of the year by defeating the Robert Morris Colonials (2-5), 65-54 on Black Friday.
Bucknell led nearly the whole game as former Colonial Tuana Coskun celebrated her return to RMU posting 16 points and gathering five rebounds. Ashley Sofilkanich notched 20 points to lead all scorers. Isabella King provided 15 points to give the Bison offense three double-digit scorers. The three players combined for 51 of Bucknell's 65 points.
King made history by hitting three treys to move into tenth in Bucknell history for career three-pointers. She passed Ally Johnson who made 110 from 2017-2021. Her 111 conversions are two away from Ellie Mack's 113 for ninth.
The Orange & Blue efficiently shot 55.8% on 24-of-43 from the field and 12-of-13 (92.3%) from the charity stripe. Robert Morris shot 22-of-50 (44%) and 7-of-9 (77.8%).
The Bison controlled the score for 37 minutes – a constant theme in all three Bucknell victories. The Orange & Blue grabbed the lead in the first quarter at 9-8 and never trailed again. The opening period started hot with both teams trading the lead five times.
Sophia Sabino's basket giving the Bison the 9-8 lead was part of a 12-0 run. Sabino returned to action after missing the Youngstown State game scoring four points with three assists.
Bucknell kept up the heat and generally stayed ahead in the 11-13-point range leading 36-24 at halftime.
The Bison did not let up after halftime and refused to let the hard-charging Colonials back into the contest. Bucknell built its largest lead of 18 points (49-31) with 3:57 remaining in the third quarter when Coskun converted on a jump shot.
The Colonials made life slightly interesting in the fourth quarter cutting the deficit to 54-44 with 6:56 left. The Bison's defense responded by holding RMU scoreless for three minutes while King and Sofilkanich hit two free throws. A Coskun three-pointer capped any chance of a comeback reestablishing the 17-point lead, 61-44.
Bucknell began wholesale substitution and Desirae Ashton made her collegiate debut. A final RMU free throw ended the scoring at 65-54 and the Bison celebrated its third-straight win.
