On defense, Randahl Capurro had 11 blocks in the cage and the Broncos defense held their opponent to their lowest goal total of the season.

"They (Bucknell) were up in the first, and then we came back in the 2nd," head coach Keith Wilbur said. "In the 2nd half we played really well to control the game. It was a great way to bounce back - our defense played strong and we go our counter attack going."
