   Bucknell had a promising start to the year with a four game win streak, however the team proved to struggle down the stretch. Despite a difficult season, Bucknell ended on a positive note by defeating Gettysburg 4-3 in a hard fought match in the much anticipated Greek Game. Bucknell looks to improve in the upcoming  year as the young team reaches its full potential.

     Heading into the final week of the regular season, Bucknell is looking to hold on to a playoff spot. This past Sunday the team traveled to New Jersey to face Rutgers. The game ended up coming down to a controversial call on a penalty shot. Sophomore goaltender John Chestnut appeared to make the save on Rutgers' initial penalty shot attempt, however after the referees conferred with one another they allowed the Rutgers player to retake the penalty shot. Chestnut was able to get a piece of the second attempt but the puck trickled in to give Rutgers the eventual decisive goal as they inched past Bucknell 4-3. Bucknell looks to rebound this weekend with a home and home series against the divisional leader - Millersville.

    After a tough overtime loss to Susquehanna in which Bucknell squandered a 4-3 lead with 2 seconds to go in the third period, Bucknell looked to bounce back after Thanksgiving break against a strong Muhlenberg team. In a back and forth battle and a 3-3 tie late in the third period senior captain Paul Bossidy threaded a cross-crease pass to freshman Alex Peter to give Bucknell the lead and ultimately the win. With the win over Muhlenberg, Bucknell improves to a 6-2-2 record and heads into the winter break sitting comfortably in second place in the Western GNCHC division.

    Following a disappointing weekend in which the first game was cancelled due to melted ice at C.W. Post and a tough 4-3 loss against Seton Hall, Bucknell rebounded with a strong effort. On Saturday night the team traveled to Pittston to take on the University of Scranton. Bucknell jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and was able to hold on for a 4-0 victory following a strong shutout performance from freshman netminder Adam Carroll. On Sunday afternoon, the Bison took on UPenn. Bucknell dominated all three periods to emerge with an 8-1 victory, anchored by another strong goaltending performance from sophomore John Chestnut. Bucknell's record improves to 5-2-1 in conference play.
