Scouting the Bison

Bucknell is looking to rebound from a 1-0 loss at home to Xavier on Saturday. Bucknell's strength this season has been their defense as the Bison have allowed only four goals in seven games. Mike Lansing and Clarke Fox have shared time in the net this year and have combined for a 0.57 goals-against average.
 
All-Patriot League forward Jesse Klug leads the Bison with three goals and is tied for the Patriot League lead with three assists, which puts him second in the league in points (nine). Jonathan Grad, Chris Thorsheim and Patrick Figgie also have two goals apiece for the Bison.

Bucknell owns a 9-2-3 lead in an all-time series that dates back to 1974.
