SAN JOSE, Calif. — Bucknell University finished up its California road trip with a 23-10 loss to No. 15-ranked Loyola Marymount University at San Jose State University on the final day of the 2025 Julian Fraser Memorial Tournament. The Bison battled hard but could not keep pace with the nationally ranked Lions.
Ori Raz led the Bison with three goals. David Dumitru and Mateo Herrera split equal time in the cage. Dumitru recorded nine saves.
Raz scored the opening goal but the Lions roared afterwards, grabbing a 5-2 lead, as the first quarter concluded.
Bucknell only tallied one goal in the second quarter as LMU added more four scores.
The Bison switched goalkeepers from Dumitru to Herrera at halftime. The change invigorated the offensive side with Bucknell scoring five times. The flip did not pay defensive dividends as LMU netted six more times to further blunt a Bison comeback.
The Lions finished the game with eight insurance goals. Bucknell scored two more to reach double-digits.
