On Sunday, Bucknell played a close five setter against Colgate (15-25, 19-25, 25-19, 25-19, 14-16). Although these bouts did not prove favorable, there was some great action seen amongst the bison throughout the five sets.

The fourth match was highlighted by outstanding defensive efforts from Allie Lopez ’24 and freshman Tjiana Kostic ’26, who combined for eight block assists.

The fifth match opened with the first three points due to kills by Frazilus and Jen Sivak ’25 along with a Colgate error. Seven lead changes were seen throughout the fifth match, resulting in a close loss for the Bison and a record of 3-1 in Patriot League play. 

“This weekend was a great showing for us overall,” Jamison said. “Although we did not get the results we wanted with our match against Colgate, we competed the entire game and proved to the league we are no longer the team they remember.”
