HOW IT HAPPENED

Bucknell went up first, taking the lead off the opening draw with a goal 38 seconds into the contest.
The Terriers would rattle off four straight goals, beginning with Feeney redirecting a pass from senior Alyssa Mozi into the goal with 10:07 left in the first.
Walsh scored next, with a turn-and-shoot effort after taking a pass from Stevenson with 5:51 left in the first.
Then it was Stevenson's turn just 26 seconds later, as she also took an assist from Mozi on her effort, putting BU up 3-1.
Amonte opened the scoresheet in the second quarter on a player-up opportunity. Freshman Avery Cutair backed up a wayward shot at X and Amonte capitalized on a napping defense, cutting straight through the arc and finishing off a pass from Cutair.
The Bison would score the next two goals before Geddes scored on a free-position shot, putting the Terriers up 5-3 with 3:01 left in the half.
BU would enter the half with that 5-3 lead, but the Bison scored 1:53 into the second half to cut it to 5-4.
Bucknell would not score for the rest of the game.
Stevenson got the run started by dodging through the Bucknell defense and finishing off a run with 12:48 left in the third.
Then Geddes and Walsh each posted free-position goals with 6:28 and 5:09 left in the third quarter and the Terriers entered the final quarter up 8-4.
Stevenson got the fourth started with a free-position goal, then Mozi got on the board after beating two Bucknell defenders with dodges to the middle of the field and finishing from her hip.
Stevenson tallied another goal with 9:16 left in the game, taking a pass from Mozi, then firing a no-look, underhand shot that beat the goalkeeper and gave BU an 11-4 lead.
Walsh picked up another free-position goal, once again going from her side on a shot to the top of the net with 4:21 left.
Just 26 seconds later, Geddes finished off a pass from Walsh on a player-up opportunity and cemented a 13-4 BU win.
