LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell took an early lead and never looked back Sunday afternoon as the Blue Hens fell, 80-51, at Sojka Pavilion.
The Bison (6-4) held Delaware (4-5) to no more than 13 points in each quarter while averaging 20 points per on their own. The Blue Hens did outscore Bucknell, 13-12, in the final quarter of play.
Senior Courtni Green (Winchester, Va./Millbrook) led the Hens to 11 points with two steals and an assist while redshirt sophomore Sadé Chatman (St. Paul, Minn./St. Paul Central) notched 10 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots.
Jacquie Klotz registered a game-high 25 points with five 3-pointers to go along with nine rebounds and five assists. Claire DeBoer added 17 points and seven rebounds.
“Today was a very bad day. We hung our heads and pouted when things got tough. This team is capable of playing better than we played today. It's frustrating because we didn't come out with fight and we're just not mentally tough enough right now. We need people to step up as leaders on this team. I have to hand it to Bucknell though; they shared the ball and shot lights out. They were certainly the better team.”
