Series History | Colgate Raiders embark in Patriot League Playoffs against its first opponent. Bucknell. Colgate fell in both regular-season games to the Bison. Bucknell made a 12-point comeback in the first game, sealing the win with a last second three pointer and free throws. Bucknell took the second game of the season in Hamilton, N.Y., outshooting the Raiders in the second half to prevail.
Bush's Post-Season Momentum | In her first season at the helm, Shannon Bush led the Colgate Raiders to a 2–16 Patriot League record and shared her thoughts following the team’s regular-season finale. " I am proud of the way that our team has continued to show resilience and fight. It is a new season & anything can happen in March. We are looking forward to the opportunity to compete in the Patriot League Tournament this weekend."
**Meabon's Moments | **Colgate Raiders junior Ella Meabon has been a driving force this season, starting all but one contest and leading the Raiders in points (411), assists (74), rebounds (141), free throws made (90) and field goals (151). The standout guard recorded four double-doubles and delivered one of the top scoring performances in program history, erupting for 35 points against the University of New Hampshire — just three shy of the Cotterell Court single-game record of 38.
**Klag's Court | **Since Klag got the start on Jan. 17 at Bucknell, she has been a steady presence in the frontcourt for the Raiders, collecting rebounds and contributing offensively. Over the last 12 games, Klag has made 10 starts, averaging 25.3 minutes, 8.3 rebounds and 7.5 points per game. She has also recorded two double-doubles, and one in the most recent game against Navy, where she finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Raiders To-Do List | For the Raiders to prevail over the Bison, they will need to limit Bucknell’s three-point shooting and attack the lane to create more opportunities at the foul line.
