Background
During its seventh and final year under head coach Tom Gadd, the Bison compiled a 6–4 record. Carson Book, Jabu Powell, Mark Tallman and Reed Tunison were the team captains.

The Bison outscored opponents 240 to 157. Bucknell's 4–3 conference record placed the team fourth out of eight in the Patriot League standings.
