Bucknell finished fourth in the Patriot League.

During its seventh and final year under head coach Tom Gadd, the Bison compiled a 6–4 record.[1] Carson Book, Jabu Powell, Mark Tallman and Reed Tunison were the team captains.[2]

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.[3]

Like most of the Patriot League, Bucknell played just ten of its eleven scheduled games, after its September 15 matchup, against Ivy League opponent Cornell, was canceled following the September 11 attacks.[4]

Bucknell played its home games at Christy Mathewson–Memorial Stadium on the university campus in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
