Frank Fedorjaka on Sanders: "Austin will be asked to take the majority of our faceoffs this year. He learned a lot as a freshman, and we hope he can be an impact player for us. He is very strong and quick off the whistle. He came to Bucknell from a great program at Landon, one of the best in the country."
