BUCKNELL BISON WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Bucknell women's basketball, competing since 1846 in Patriot League play, navigates challenging home-road splits through Trevor Woodruff's leadership at Sojka Pavilion in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The Bison posted a 9-16 record with a notable disparity—dominating at home with a 6-6 mark against a 3-10 road slate—while averaging 53.4 points per game against opponents scoring 57.6. Conference play showed tighter margins, with the team earning a 4-5 Patriot League record to stay competitive in the mid-tier of the league.
With 13 players rotating through Woodruff's system, Bucknell struggled offensively relative to defensive vulnerabilities, being outscored by 4.2 points per contest. The away struggles particularly stand out, with the Bison winning just 23 percent of road contests compared to their 50 percent home conversion rate. This disparity underscores the challenge of playing in a historic Patriot League conference while building consistency across the schedule.
