Nomura fired the first goal less than two minutes into the contest to give the Seahawks an early 1-0 lead. However, the Bison countered with a 3-0 run to end the quarter ahead 3-1.
 
Once again, Nomura tallied the first marker of the second quarter to give the Green & White its second goal. Bucknell's Nate Hunter followed up with his own goal before freshman driver Matthew Miller drilled his 34^th goal of the year as the Seahawks entered intermission trailing 5-3.
 
The Bison began the second half with a 5-0 run before freshman utility Graham Schmelzer (Saratoga, CA/Saratoga) ended it with the first goal of his collegiate career.
 
Despite outscoring Bucknell 2-1 in the final stanza behind goals from Nomura and junior driver James Grady (Boca Raton, FL/Boca Raton), the Seahawks were handed their seventh conference loss.
