• The Bucknell baseball team won its Patriot League opener against Lafayette 8-5 on Friday afternoon at Depew Field at Marren Park. The Bison went for 14 hits behind a seven-inning effort on the mound by Jonathan Adelmann.

Bucknell (5-10, 1-0 PL) led 6-2 headed to the eighth before a two-run homer by Lafayette’s (1-11, 0-1 PL) Jack Mislan made it a two-run ballgame. The Bison got the two runs back in the bottom of the eighth to restore the four-run lead. Brandon Doubek led off the ninth with another home run, but Tyler Seidman worked two strikeouts and a fly ball to close out the win.

Just a week after Adelmann pitched a career high seven innings with a personal-best eighth strikeouts, the junior right-hander struck out 10 batters in seven innings on the mound. The Leopards had timely hitting as they plated two runs off of three hits on Adelmann.

Lagoni was hot at the plate with a 4 for 5 day with two RBIs. Lagoni opened the scoring in the first inning, and the junior transfer’s RBI triple added insurance for the Bison in the seventh.

• Josiah Schans and Eric Zalar of the Lock Haven men’s indoor track and field team competed in the 2026 NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships.

Schans finishes his junior indoor season as the Bald Eagle event record holder with a mark of 7.94 and a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference champion.

Zalar competed in the weight throw. He finished in 18th place, with a throw of 58 feet, 8 1/2 inches. Zalar finishes his junior indoor season as the Lock Haven Weight Throw record holder reaching the mark of 67-2 and a PSAC runner-up.

The duo will take the momentum of record-breaking indoor seasons and national championship appearances into the upcoming outdoor season where they will look to make their mark even more on the all-time Lock Haven record book.
