LEWISBURG, Pa. — Bucknell women's basketball head coach Trevor Woodruff and his staff announced four additions to the 2026-27 Bison roster on Friday.
"As a group," said head coach Trevor Woodruff, "we believe all four newcomers have the chance to make an immediate impact. They are a collection of very talented, intelligent and team-first student-athletes who fit specific needs on our roster."
The incoming class features one transfer and three freshmen, including three guards and one forward. The four newcomers hail from three different states, including one Pennsylvania native that comes to Lewisburg from Williamsport. Two of the incoming student-athletes join the Bison from New Jersey, while the remaining addition comes from Wisconsin.
Three of the four incoming Bison helped lead their high school teams to state championship appearances and served as team captains. All four additions were top-talents at their respective schools, helping their teams capture multiple division and conference championships.
