LEWISBURG, Penn. \u2014 The Terriers reverted to old habits of poor starts in Saturday\u2019s Patriot League matchup at Bucknell University, allowing the Bison to begin the game on a 7-0 run and take a 20-11 lead after the first quarter. BU was unable to regain lost ground, ultimately dropping their fifth straight game, this one by a score of 67-57.<\/span><\/p>\n

With already as many league losses as a season ago, the scarlet and white\u2019s last victory came on Jan. 11 in a conference battle at Colgate. At 8-12 overall and 3-7 in Patriot League play, BU holds a 2-7 record in 2018, and has not won in BU\u2019s spring semester.<\/span><\/p>\n

In preseason games, the Terriers came out sluggish on a regular basis. Luckily, Head Coach Katy Steding\u2019s squad was able to break the habit in time for the regular season. Saturday was an exception.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we just play with the same energy throughout the whole game it will make the ends of games go better and be easier,\u201d said junior guard Payton Hauck (14 points). \u201cWe sometimes put ourselves in a hole and then have to fight back in the end, which is hard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A York, Penn. native, playing at Bucknell acted as a sort of homecoming for Hauck. With friends and family present, she grabbed 14 points off of 6-of-9 shooting from the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always great to have friends and family at the game,\u201d Hauck explained. \u201cDefinitely when on the road for a far away game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hauck\u2019s performance continues to make the Terriers\u2019 bench an offensive threat, which has now outscored the starting unit in three of the last five contests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freshman Katie Nelson carried over her stellar shooting from the loss to Lafayette, by putting up 14 points of her own to go with a board and a pair of assists. The multiple Patriot League Rookie of the Week winner did most of her damage in the fourth quarter, hitting three triples and a layup in the final 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senior captain Corrine Williams pulled in nine points and four rebounds. Co-captain Sophie Beaudry finished with six points and three boards in her third game coming off the bench.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defending Patriot League champs of Bucknell have now won nine straight against BU. The two are not scheduled to meet again this season, but could see each other in March\u2019s conference tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five games ties the longest losing streak for the Terriers since December of 2016. That Terrier team went on to break the streak by winning three straight games of their own.<\/span><\/p>\n

BU has a shot to get back on the right track on Saturday, Feb. 3 as the 12-9 Lehigh Mountain Hawks are welcomed to Case Gym. The Terriers\u2019 second-to-last weekend home game of the year will get underway at 2:00 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
