GAME SUMMARY

The Bobcats came out with a purpose in the game's early stages and took a 12-5 lead into the first media timeout. Warfel had four points, a rebound, an assist, and drew a charge in the first three minutes.
Bucknell scored the last two baskets of the quarter to pull within two and then tied it at 21 on a layup by Mack at 7:23 of the second quarter.
Quinnipiac proceeded to open up a 11-point lead thanks to a 19-8 run that ended the first half.
The Bobcats maintained a ten-point lead through most of the third quarter, but Bucknell's Marly Walls ended the frame with a jumper to pull the team with eight.
The Bobcats' lead grew to 12 points after two Warfel free throws with 8:06 to play before Bucknell made a run to cut the lead back to five points (65-60) with 2:33 remaining in the game.
Quinnipiac sophomore Amani Free picked up a loose ball and hit a knock-down three with 1:57 left.
The Bison brought the deficit back to five in the waning seconds of the game, but Quinnipiac iced the game with free throws to close out the win.
