The first meeting between the schools this year came on Jan. 5, with the Black Knights earning a 76-73 win in triple overtime, for just the third triple overtime game in Patriot League women's basketball history, and Army's second such game after a triple-overtime game against Navy on March 1, 2003.
Junior Aliyah Murray started for the second straight time on Saturday at Bucknell, and netted 13 points to lead the Cadets. Classmate Janae McNeal came off the bench to also add 13 points for Army.
