BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICS SETTING THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal. •
•
According to federal data released by the NCAA each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. Bucknell has led the nation in graduation rates three times and ranked second in the most recent survey in the fall of 2015. All 27 Bison varsity teams easily met the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) standards once again last year. In fact, 19 programs boast perfect scores in the four-year rolling average. Bucknell received 19 NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) National Recognition Awards, the second-highest total among all Division I institutions.
•
Bucknell has claimed a league-high 140 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.
•
A total of 441 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2014-15 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 319 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better during the spring 2015 semester.
•
In addition to the 128 Capital One Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 350 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including five in 2014-15.

•
26 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2015.
•
Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 18 times in the 25-year history of the affiliation, including 14 of the last 18 years.
•
Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford) in total number of Capital One Academic All-America selections with 128.

A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, an Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff, and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICS
A NATIONAL MODEL IN PROMOTING THE SCHOLAR-ATHLETE IDEAL Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy a full range of collegiate experiences. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program. BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its ninth year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.

Bucknell Athletics Facilities THE KENNETH LANGONE ATHLETICS & RECREATION CENTER The Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 18 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 25 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 128 Academic All-Americans in 45 years and 140 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 25 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility, which celebrated its 10th birthday in 2012-13, has enhanced each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and has greatly expanded the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a brand new display highlighting Bucknell’s all-time Academic All-Americans, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison wrestling and volleyball teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center becomes the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its new FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club and brand new Bachman Golf Center; the newly refurbished Depew Field (baseball) and Becker Field (softball); and Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium, the new portion of the West Fields project that includes covered grandstand seats, ticket and concession areas, team rooms, a training room and a press box area for soccer, field hockey and women’s lacrosse.

WHAT IT MEANS TO
BE A BISON
“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well-developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910
The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

2016 BUCKNELL MEN’S LACROSSE
bison back in title hunt in patriot league in 2016
TWO-TIME ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE MIDDIE THOMAS FLIBOTTE Continuing the tradition cemented by Hallof-Fame coach Sid Jamieson before him, 11thyear Bucknell mentor Frank Fedorjaka has the Bison men’s lacrosse program in a great place. Year in and year out Bucknell is expected to be a factor in chase for the championship in the Patriot League, which has become one of the nation’s top Division I lacrosse conferences. This year should be no different. While there are some key graduation losses to overcome, the Bison bring back talent in all phases of the game in 2016, as they look to improve on last year’s 9-6 season that ended with a loss to Colgate in the Patriot League Tournament semifinals. Four of the nine wins came against top-20 opponents, and the team went 6-1 in one-goal games and 3-0 in overtime contests. “Last year was an interesting year,” said Fedorjaka, who is 96-57 overall 42-22 against Patriot League competition as Bucknell’s head coach. “We had some really big wins, but also some blowout losses that were unusual for us. We had some games where we gave up a lot of goals, and we are a program that prides itself on being one of the best defensive teams in the country. We have worked really hard this offseason on getting back to that.” A Bison defense that conceded 9.9 goals per game last season will have some new faces in 2016. Two-year starting goalie Sam Grinberg and First Team All-Patriot League defenseman Ben Kellar have graduated, but senior Preseason All-America long-stick defensive midfielder Alex Spring returns to lead a talented group. At close defense, junior Mike Schiappa already has two years of starting experience under his belt and is a strong crease defender. Senior co-captain Eric Monfort, formerly an offensive and defensive midfielder, makes the transition to close defense this spring. He made the move in the fall to help alleviate some injury concerns, and it was not long before he had become one of the team’s best cover men. Sophomore Benny Borgognone, a transfer from Fairfield, is another
8
strong, quick defender who has grasped Fedorjaka’s intricate defensive scheme. Junior Brad Dotson and sophomore Lukas Munoz have also started games for the Bison and are ready if called upon. Munoz took over a starting spot in the second game of the year and showed plenty of promise in seven games before going down with a season-ending knee injury in the Brown game. Dotson, one of the tallest players in the country at 6’7”, then jumped into the top three and also performed well. “I like the makeup of our close defense unit,” said Fedorjaka. “There is good balance there, and everyone seems to have a different strength, which means they all complement each other well.” Spring has become one of the best long-stick defensive midfielders in the country. He was an Honorable Mention Preseason All-American as well as a Preseason All-Patriot League selection.
SEASON PREVIEW An eighth-round draft pick of the MLL’s Florida Launch, Spring already ranks second on Bucknell’s career ground balls list (185) with a full season still to play. “Alex is one of the best ground-ball guys I have ever seen,” praised Fedorjaka. “He has a good nose for the ball and is hugely important for us as a faceoff wing. Pound-for-pound he is the strongest player on our team. He has fantastic endurance, he knows our defense very well, and we are very happy with his leadership and work ethic.” Sophomore Matt Gilray has many of the same attributes as Spring, and he has the potential to be just as effective in terms of coverage and winning ground balls on the faceoff wings. In fact, the team has dubbed the duo “Spring-Ray”. Because Spring is in such good shape and rarely needs to come off the field, Gilray will also be playing with a short stick as a defensive middie. The Oshawa, Ontario native is quite skilled with the short stick, having played a lot of box lacrosse at home in Canada. Senior Mike Adelman, a former walk-on, has improved considerably over the last three years and will also see time as an LSM. The Bison will have plenty of game experience back in the short-stick defensive midfield rotation. Seniors Brock Ghelfi and co-captain Zach Henkhaus are both returning rotation guys, while junior Grayson Helm and sophomore Duke Repko are knocking on the door. Freshman Brad Landry is one of the fastest players on the team. Breaking in a new goalie has been a rarity at Bucknell through the years. The team has utilized only five regular starters in the cage dating all the way back to 2000: Grinberg (2014-15), Kyle Feeney (2010-13), Nick Sciubba (2007-09), Matt Baran (2004-06) and Justin Sussman (2000-03). Next in line could be freshman Christian Klipstein, who has impressed since the start of fall ball. The Califon, New Jersey native is the younger brother of Ryan Klipstein, a standout midfielder for the Bison from 2008-11. Another brother, Reaves, is currently a defenseman at Army. Klipstein is being pushed hard by sophomore Brac McKee, who saw action in six games as Grinberg’s backup last year, and another first-year

SOPHOMORE SAM HAHN netminder in Joey Altemus. “We have three really good goalies,” said Fedorjaka. “Consistency is a big key, and Christian has been very consistent for us. He is a great ball-stopper and seems to be mature above his years. He understands the defense and is vocal and confident.” The unit that will be looking to alleviate some pressure from the defense is the faceoff group. Faceoffs have been an issue for the Bison over the last two seasons, but Fedorjaka has a young group consisting of two sophomores and three freshmen that he feels could turn an area of weakness into a team strength. Sophomores Jake Dunlop and Sam Hahn are the returnees. Hahn led the team with 150 attempts at the X, winning 65 as a rookie in 2015. Dunlop went 31-for-62 and led the team with

a .500 conversion rate. Freshmen Jarett Witzal, Jordy Elardo and Teddy Dumbauld are also in the mix. “We want to be above 50 percent on faceoffs,” offered Fedorjaka. “It has been a bit of an Achilles heel for us the last two years, but I don’t think it will be this year. We have good competition there, and we have excellent wing players.” Offensively, the Bison will have to replace last year’s team leaders in goals (Ryan Joseph), assists (David Dickson) and points (Dickson), but two-time All-Patriot Leaguer and team cocaptain Thomas Flibotte returns to anchor the top midfield line, and senior Sean Doyle and sophomore Will Sands are two of the league’s top attackmen. Flibotte tallied 16 goals and four assists last season, and Fedorjaka says that the big, strong senior middie has diversified his game considerably. Senior Kyle Shanahan and junior Tommy O’Connor are likely to join Flibotte on the first midfield line, giving the Bison plenty of shooting ability from the flanks. Fedorjaka also likes his midfield depth, as sophomore Sean O’Brien could also mix in with the first unit, and freshmen Reed Malas and Ryan Durkin appear ready to contribute as well. Malas was listed No. 38 on Inside Lacrosse’s list of top first-year attackmen. Another freshman, Tom Smith, missed fall ball due to an injury, but he could be in contention for a rotation spot when healthy. “The midfield might just be the strength of the team,” noted Fedorjaka. “Flibotte, Shanahan, O’Connor and O’Brien are horses. They are going to be able to draw slides and handle them well.” Sands was the team’s No. 2 scorer with 42 points on 26 goals and 16 assists as a rookie last season, and his .448 shot percentage ranked 13th nationally. He will quarterback the offense from X. A proven finisher, Doyle has scored at least 24 goals in each of his first three seasons at Bucknell, and he enters his senior year with 77, including a number of clutch goals late in games. Sophomore Connor O’Hara is expected to be the third attackman, replacing the graduated Alex Ryan on the crease.
Senior co-captain Shane Fee, juniors Quinn Collison and Nick Steinfeld, and freshman Marshall Dickson (David’s younger brother) give the Bison plenty of depth up front. “We are looking for Will Sands to take command of the offense,” said Fedorjaka. “He had a great freshman year and is even better this year. He makes others around him better. Sean Doyle has scored a lot of big goals here, and people have to account for him. I like our offense. There is the potential for a lot of goals from a lot of different guys.” As the 2016 campaign nears, Fedorjaka is excited about his squad, but also cognizant of the depth and quality of the Patriot League. Teams like Loyola, Navy, Army, Colgate and Lehigh are established powers. Boston University has already made major strides entering its third year at the varsity level. Holy Cross earned a top-20 ranking for the very first time last year, and even Lafayette, picked at the bottom of the league, took the Bison right down to the wire in a 14-13 finish last season. “We have had a very productive preseason so far, and I am very excited about our team chemistry,” said Fedorjaka. “There is a lot of energy and enthusiasm throughout the team, and it starts with our seniors. Any one of our seniors could easily have been a captain and done a great job. Our leadership is strong, and that leads to a lot of optimism as the start of the season approaches. “It’s going to come down to mental and physical toughness,” Fedorjaka continued. “We talked about wanting to be more consistent as a team and play well every single game. Mental and physical toughness is the answer to our consistency.”

COACHING STAFF
2016 BUCKNELL MEN’S LACROSSE FRANK FEDORJAKA HEAD COACH 11th SEASON 135-88 overall, 96-57 at BU
After two stints as an assistant coach at Bucknell spanning nearly a decade, Frank Fedorjaka took over as head coach in 2006 when he succeeded longtime mentor Sid Jamieson. In 2011 Fedorjaka guided the team to its first Patriot League Tournament title and second NCAA Tournament appearance, and he has cemented Bucknell’s status as an annual Patriot League title contender and national top 20 program. Fedorjaka became only the second head coach in Bucknell lacrosse history, following in the footsteps of Jamieson, the Bucknell Hall of Famer who founded the varsity lacrosse program in 1968. In his 10 seasons since taking over for Jamieson, Fedorjaka has fashioned a stellar 96-57 (.627) record, including a 42-22 (.656) Patriot League ledger. That makes him the 13th-most successful active coach in Division I lacrosse. The Bison have won nine or more games in seven of his 10 seasons, including a program record 14 in 2011 and 12 in 2013. Including a five-year stint as head coach at Franklin & Marshall from 1994-98, Fedorjaka has a 135-88 (.605) lifetime record. In 2013, Fedorjaka’s squad achieved a No. 6 national ranking, the highest in program history, buoyed by a 9-8 upset of No. 2 Cornell in Ithaca in March. The team finished 12-4 and advanced to the Patriot League championship game before just missing an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament despite a final RPI ranking of 12. In his first season at the helm, Fedorjaka led the Bison to a historic victory over No. 1 Maryland — the program’s first-ever victory over a top-ranked team — and another top-20 road win at Penn State later in the season. The victories really began to start pouring in during year No. 2, as the Bison went 11-4, including three top-20 wins, and came within one of the school record for wins in a season. Another 10-win season followed in 2008, and the Bison advanced all the way to the Patriot League championship game for the first time. In 2009 Fedorjaka was named Patriot League Coach of the Year for the first time after leading the Bison to a perfect 6-0 conference record and the Patriot League regular-season title. His team made it to the championship game for the second year in a row, this time dropping a one-goal heartbreaker to Navy. In 2010, the Bison took second-ranked and eventual national champion Duke to overtime, and they again qualified for the postseason. Bucknell finished 8-6, with the six losses coming by a combined seven goals. And then in 2011 the Bison finished 14-3, setting a new school record for wins in a season. They went 6-0 in the Patriot League for the second

time in three years and routed Lehigh and Colgate in the PL Tournament before entering the NCAA Tournament with a No. 7 national ranking, the highest in program history at the time. Bucknell nearly upset eventual national champion Virginia in the first round, leading for most of the game before falling 13-12 in overtime. Fedorjaka was rewarded with his second Patriot League Coach of the Year award. Known throughout his career as one of the college game’s best defensive minds, Fedorjaka’s teams annually rank among the national leaders in scoring defense, man-down defense and riding efficiency. Bucknell ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring defense in 2007, and the Bison have ranked 11th or better five times in the last nine years. In his first 10 years as head coach Fedorjaka has mentored 47 AllPatriot League players and eight All-Americans, including three-time AllAmerican Austin Winter. He has also coached four Patriot League Rookie of the Year selections, one Defensive Player of the Year and one Goalie of the Year. That goalie, Nick Sciubba, led the nation in save percentage and goals-against average in 2007. Five of Fedorjaka’s student-athletes have gone on to play professional lacrosse after graduation. Fedorjaka rejoined the Bucknell lacrosse family after serving as head coach at Franklin & Marshall for five years. Fedorjaka served as an assistant coach at Bucknell for the 1992 and 1993 seasons before going to F&M. In Fedorjaka’s five seasons at F&M, the Diplomats compiled a 39-31 record. His 39 wins placed him in second on the school’s all-time lacrosse wins list. In 1995 Fedorjaka was named the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s Division III Coach of the Year, after leading the Diplomats to a 12-3 record and an NCAA playoff berth. In addition to his responsibilities as men’s lacrosse coach, Fedorjaka also served as an assistant coach in football and women’s soccer during his tenure at F&M. Also while at F&M Fedorjaka served as the Chair to the Southern ECAC Lacrosse Committee in 1997 and 1998. He served on the USILA National Ranking Committee and NCAA Advisory Committee for Division III lacrosse. A 1989 graduate of Hobart College, Fedorjaka was a starting long-stick midfielder on three NCAA Division III national championship teams. He was also a three-year starter at wide receiver for the Statesman football team, earning All-America honors in 1988. The Rochester, N.Y., native was named Hobart’s Athlete of the Year in 1989. During his career at Hobart, he held all reception records and remained the school’s all-time leading receiver until 2004. Fedorjaka began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for two years at Springfield College (Mass.).

In 2013, Conner’s second season as offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator, the Bison offense averaged 10.6 goals per game. They led the Patriot League in goals per game game at the end of the regular season and finished No. 2 after the completion of league tournament play.

In 2013, Conner’s recruiting efforts were displayed by the play of several key freshmen during the season. The recruiting class was cited by Inside Lacrosse as one of the best in the nation, and the Bison had three freshmen make Inside Lacrosse’s list top 25 freshmen, which was more than any other team in the nation. In 2013, Conner coached Patriot League Rookie of the Year Sean Doyle and First Team All-Patriot League midfielders Thomas Flibotte and Dickson. Dickson shattered Bucknell and Patriot League single-season assist records with 48, and he would go on to earn Third Team All-America honors. Conner also coached 2012 graduate Billy Eisenreich, who played pro lacrosse for the Chicago Outlaws. Eisenreich was a Third Team All-America attackman in 2012 after playing his first three years at midfield. In Conner’s first season as the offensive coordinator in 2012, the Bison finished the season with the No. 1 shooting percentage in the nation. The Bison offense also performed at historically high levels during the 2012 season. In that season the Bison offense set a record by scoring the most goals it ever has in a single season with 179, as well as set team records for assists (108) and points (287). Inside Lacrosse’s Pace Statistics for Adjusted Offensive Efficiency Rating determined that the Bison had one of the most efficient offensive units in recent Division 1 lacrosse history throughout most of the 2012 season. Conner was the assistant lacrosse coach at Mount St. Mary’s for two years before coming to Bucknell. At Mount St. Mary’s, Conner helped coach the Mount to a 5-3 conference record and a No. 2 seed in the MAAC playoffs, the Mount’s first conference playoff appearance in two years. He served as recruiting coordinator, and in his final season with The Mount he coached the defense, helping them to a No. 9 national ranking in goals allowed. Conner is a 2007 graduate of Mount St. Mary’s and received his M.B.A. degree with a management concentration from The Mount as well in May of 2009. During the summer of 2009, Conner worked at Wells Fargo Financial as a Credit Manager before being hired by Bucknell in September of 2009.

COACHING STAFF NICK MARKS ASSISTANT COACH 5th SEASON Former Bison men’s lacrosse standout Nick Marks returned to his alma mater in 2012 as an assistant coach on Frank Fedorjaka’s staff, and in 2014 he began serving as the team’s defensive coordinator. A four-year starting midfielder at Bucknell, Marks has remained very active in the sport of lacrosse since graduating in 2008 with a degree in classics and history. Under Marks’ watch, the 2015 Bison had several individuals honored for their defensive work, the team ranked in the top 20 nationally in caused turnovers for the second year in a row, and the entire unit held strong in victories over Brown and Loyola, which featured two of the most powerful offenses in the country. Defenseman Ben Kellar and long-stick defensive midfielder Alex Spring were both First Team All-Patriot League selections, and goalie Sam Grinberg won a Patriot League Goalie of the Week Award in addition to Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors. Marks also mentors the Bison faceoff specialists, and the team showed significant improvement in that area in 2015, and faceoff success was a major factor in key Patriot League wins over Loyola and Navy. In 2014 the Bison defense ranked seventh nationally in caused turnovers per game (9.47) and 14th in scoring defense (8.67). That year, Marks helped senior Jackson Place become a Major League Lacrosse draft selection after earning AllAmerica and All-Patriot League honors while ranking second in the nation in caused turnovers at 2.71 per game. Grinberg in 2014 ranked eighth nationally in save percentage (.563) and 10th in goals-against average (8.52) in his first season as the full-time starter. In his first two seasons back with the Bison, Marks worked closely with the goalies and faceoff men, and he mentored all-conference players at both positions. Ryan Gutowski graduated in 2013 ranked third in program history in faceoff wins and sixth in ground balls. He was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection in 2013. Kyle Feeney ‘13 ranked fourth in team history in saves and goals-against average.

Thirty top-tier high school and club lacrosse teams will be showcased for college coaches and scouts. Conveniently held on the campus of Bucknell University, the Bison Brawl Team Lacrosse Camp provides the ultimate team competition, multiple synthetic turf fields, illuminated stadium venue, ample parking, dormitory facilities, hotels, hospitality and exposure to the college admissions and athletic recruitment process — not specific to Bucknell University. The camp is held on Bucknell University’s 450-acre campus in the heart of the beautiful Susquehanna River Valley in Lewisburg, Pa. Bucknell’s campus is located adjacent to Rt. 15, just six miles south of I-80 and 55 miles north of Harrisburg, Pa. Campers compete in the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. With its recently-installed FieldTurf, it is one of the finest venues in all of college lacrosse. The camp also utilizes the newly renovated West Fields complex, which also offers a first-class atmosphere for lacrosse at any level. The camp provides state-of-the-art facilities and accommodations for a competitive lacrosse atmosphere. All teams will have a chance to work on team concepts and various aspects of team play as the week progresses. Camp staff and referees help provide the most realistic, game-like experience possible. This is a unique chance to grow and learn as a team while continuing to develop all the important individual skills necessary to play at the college level.
My top priority as a head coach is to be sure that our program has a positive image on campus, in the community and in the lacrosse world. It is important to me that our student-athletes give back to the University, the community, and to the sport they love, and that these three entities are better with Bucknell Lacrosse than without. That said, I am proud to announce this year’s Community Service Plan. Our goal is to contribute 24 hours of community service The U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne per team member.

ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholarathletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

Approximately 60 student-athletes participate in Leadership Academy programming each year. Representing the men’s lacrosse team in 2015-16 is Zach Henkhaus. Goals for the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy include: • Identify and develop high potential leaders in their sophomore or junior years • Help young best athletes become best leaders • Create strong leaders by example and set the stage for developing vocal leaders • Build a strong peer support network for aspiring leaders • Develop leaders who support and learn from current team captains/leaders • Practice leading self, their class, and below • Succession Planning — smoothly replace graduating leaders • Encourage veteran leaders to step up and be vocal leaders • Establish a solid, cooperative and ongoing partnership with the coaching staff • Teach and apply the insights and skills necessary to be a responsible and respected leader • Provide veteran leaders with ongoing coaching and support as they tackle the tough issues of team leadership • Provide veteran leaders with a solid peer network for guidance and support • Provide veteran leaders with highly marketable leadership skills for a lifetime
