WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point women's basketball team tested Bucknell in its Patriot League opener, but ultimately fell to the Bison, 63-52.

The Cadets had worked Bucknell's lead to just five points with 9:39 remaining in the fourth quarter. Though the Bison responded with a 12-4 run to extend their lead back to double-digits and did not look back from there.

Sarah Bohn continued her hot shooting streak, shooting a perfect 4-of-4 from beyond-the-arc. She finished the evening with 12 points. Kamryn Hall was the other member of the team to reach double-digit scoring with 13 points. As a team, Army shot 52.9 percent from 3-point range, connecting on 9-of-17 from deep.

Ellie Mack led a trio of Bucknell double-digit scorers with 13 points. Tessa Brugler and Taylor O'Brien finished with 12 and 10, respectively. The Bison did most of their damage down low, with 30 of their points coming in the paint.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Bucknell shot 60 percent from the field in the first quarter compared to Army's 38.5 percent rate, but the Bison only held a one-point advantage through the opening 10 minutes. With just over two minutes left in the opening frame Bucknell led 14-7, but Bohn drilled her first two 3-balls of the game, which included a buzzer-beater at the end of the quarter.
The Bison again looked to begin to distance themselves when they took a nine-point lead with 1:48 remaining in the second quarter. Though, the Cadets scored the final five points of the half to head into the halftime break trailing 30-26.
Bohn again beat the buzzer to end the third quarter, with an acrobatic straightaway 3-ball that went in off the glass. The shot reduced Bucknell's lead to 44-36.
The Cadets quickly closed the gap to five points with an old-fashioned 3-point play to open the fourth quarter from Hall. Though that would be the closest Army would get, as Bucknell outscored the Black Knights 19-13 to close out the contest.
