HAMILTON, N.Y. - Boakai Lalugba scored a game-high 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds as Bucknell downed Colgate 80-75 Wednesday night at Cotterell Court in a Patriot League game.

               Bucknell, which has beaten Colgate in seven of the last eight meetings, improves its record to 7-11 overall and 3-2 in the league while the Raiders fall to 9-8 overall and 1-4 in the conference. 

               Also in double figures for the Bison were Dan Blankenship with 14, Bryan Bailey with 13 and Matt Quinn, who netted 10.   

               Mark Linebaugh and Pat Campolieta paced the Raiders with 14 points apiece.  Campolieta also grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds, giving him his fourth double-double of the season.  Martin Marek added 10 points for Colgate.

               The Bison claimed their first lead of the contest at 19-18 with 8:46 to go in the first half and never trailed again.  They lead by as many as 15 late in the contest before the Raiders had a desperation comeback on two three-pointers by Linebaugh to pull Colgate to within five points in the final minute of the game.

               With his 13 rebounds, Campolieta becomes only the fourth player in school history to rank in the Top 10 in scoring and rebounding.  He joins Adonal Foyle, Jonathan Stone and Jack Nichols.  He has scored 1,470 points and grabbed 618 rebounds.

               Bucknell finished the game shooting 54 percent from the field and 50 percent from behind the arc, while Colgate shot 42 percent from the field but only 20 percent from 3-point range (4-of-20).  The Raiders also had a miserable night from the charity stripe making only 15-of-27 attempts.
