The Mountain Hawks, who had won four straight to lead off the year are looking to snap a two-game 14 Championship TBA losing skid. The Mountain Hawks’ defense kept them in the first matchup against the Bison on Saturday at Stabler Arena, holding Bucknell to just five points in the second quarter, but a late run in the fourth gave the Bison an eight-point win in the end. The same couldn’t be said about Home team in BOLD CAPS Sunday’s defeat as Bucknell nearly came away with a wire-to-wire win, gaining separation and winning by 14. ^Mini-conference game Despite coming off the bench for the first time in three games on Sunday, senior guard Mary Clougherty once again had a strong showing with a team-high 15 points in the defeat. To start the year, Clougherty has notched five double-digit scoring efforts in her first six games. Sophomore Frannie Hottinger continued to showcase her offense as a consistent scoring option by adding 10 points and nine rebounds in the loss, nearly capturing her second double-double of the season so far. Hottinger, at 12.8 points per game, sits second on the team behind Clougherty. SPORTS COMMUNICATIONS Another Mountain Hawk averaging double-figures this season is freshman Mackenzie Kramer, who like Clougherty, has scored 10 or more points in all but one game this season.
