Bucknell's women are 4-1 to start the year, coming off the Bucknell Invitational. Bucknell's last Patriot League opponents came in a quad meet hosted by Navy against American, Lafayette and Navy. The Bison went 2-1, putting in a dominant display over American (200-97) and Lafayette (224-76) but falling to Navy (177-112).
The Bison women also defeated Holy Cross (198-102) and Boston U. (160.5-139.5) back in October to start the season.
Bucknell's men are 3-2 to start the season, going 2-1 at the quad meet as the women did. Bucknell handled American (226-70) and Lafayette (217.5-81.5) but fell to Navy (185-104). The men went 1-1 in an opening weekend defeating Holy Cross (163-137) and losing to Boston U. (172.5-127.5).
The Bison are heating up as both the men's and women's sides combined for 11 new top-10 times at the Bucknell Invitational in late November (see 2025 top-10 times listed at the bottom).
Bucknell also hosted the Bucknell Fall Invitational back in October, competing against Seton Hall and Binghamton with no team scoring in the event.
