LEWISBURG, Pa. -- In a battle of top-15 teams, Bucknell and Army meet Friday afternoon in the second semifinal game of the second annual Patriot League Men's Lacrosse Tournament. Host Navy takes on first-time tournament participant Lehigh in the opener of the twin bill. Bucknell matched Army and Navy with a 5-1 Patriot League regular-season record, but the Midshipmen claimed the No. 1 seed via a rarely used goal-differential tiebreaker. The Bison are no strangers to the heights of the Patriot League standings, having shared or won outright four straight league titles from 2000-03. In last season's inaugural PL Tournament, Bucknell also entered as the No. 3 seed and dropped a heartbreaking 10-9 decision to eventual NCAA Tournament participant Hobart. The Bison enter the postseason having won six of their last eight games, with the two losses both coming by one goal each to Army and Penn State. Then ranked fourth nationally, Army scored the tiebreaking goal with 21 seconds left to secure a 7-6 decision over Bucknell at Michie Stadium on Apr. 9. It was the third straight meeting between the two teams decided by just a single goal. Friday's Bucknell-Army semifinal game will be aired live on the Internet at BucknellBison.com via SportsJuice, with Doug Birdsong and Nick Mauritz handling the announcing duties. Should the Bison advance to Sunday's championship game, that contest will again be broadcast to the Interet as well as on WMLP-AM 1380 in Lewisburg. The championship game will also be televised live by College Sports Television (CSTV).
