9 Bucknell Women s Basketball Game Notes - 8 The turnaround during Aaron Roussell s still relatively short time with the Bucknell women s basketball program has been nothing short of remarkable. Since taking over a team that went 5-25 the season before his arrival to Lewisburg, Roussell has guided the Bison to the most successful five-year run in program history, capped with the 2017 Patriot League title and the team s first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since Roussell, who will enter the season with a career record of and a Bucknell record of , has won back-to-back Patriot League Coach of the Year honors while leading the Bison to consecutive record-setting seasons. The most recent campaign was highlighted by a 27-6 record, a Patriot League regular season title, a Patriot League Tournament title, and a matchup with No. 3 seed and third-ranked nationally Maryland as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Under Roussell s direction, Bucknell won a major conference award for the fourth consecutive season as senior Claire DeBoer was voted as the unanimous Patriot League Player of the Year.

The season one of the best in the 43-year history of the program was an encore to a season that saw Bucknell go 25-8 overall and share the Patriot League regular season title with a 17-1 record. The Bison went on to register the first WNIT win in league history with a victory at Akron in the first round. The turnaround was immediate for Bucknell under Roussell. He lifted the Bison from a five-win outing in to a overall record and a 5-9 mark in Patriot League action during his debut season. His 15 wins set a Bucknell women s basketball record for victories in a coach s rookie season, and his work with the Bison was recognized nationally, as he was named a finalist for the WBCA Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year award. Bucknell s ascent continued in Roussell s second season at the helm, as the Bison finished overall, 11-7 in the Patriot League and 10-4 at Sojka Pavilion. Bucknell earned the No. 4 seed for the Patriot League Tournament and hosted a quarterfinal game in Sojka for the first time. The Bison then went on to accept a bid to the Women s Basketball Invitational postseason tournament for the first time. Bucknell s improvement mirrored that of the conference as a whole in , but the Bison were again able to finish in the top half of the league standings and grabbed the No. 4 seed for the conference tournament for the second consecutive year. The team finished 18-12, the program s highest win total in eight years, and was above.500 at 10-8 in one of the most competitive seasons from top to bottom in league history. Much of the Bison s success during Roussell s tenure has been a result of his ability to quickly develop talent and meld it with the team s veteran players. They won three straight Patriot League Rookie of the Year awards, with DeBoer receiving the honor in 2014, Jacquie Klotz in 2015 and Kaitlyn Slagus in At the same time that the freshmen were winning awards, Bucknell s veteran players were being recognized alongside the best players in the league. Shelby Romine was a First Team All-Patriot League selection in 2014, and Audrey Dotson landed a spot on the First Team in DeBoer and Klotz were both honored in 2016, and DeBoer earned the accolade for the second straight year in In all, the Bison have had 10 all-conference players in Roussell s five seasons, while another five were voted to the All-Rookie squad. DeBoer developed into the best all-around player in the Patriot League. At the conclusion of her career, she ranked third in program history in points, third in rebounds, and ninth in assists. She is the only player to currently rank in the top 10 in all three categories and is the only player with at least 1,600 points and 800 rebounds. Prior to his time in Lewisburg, Roussell spent eight years as the head coach at the University of Chicago, where he compiled a (.763) record, including a 52-5 mark with a 43-game regular-season winning streak over his last two seasons with the program. Roussell logged the most victories and highest winning percentage of any women s basketball coach in Chicago s 41-year history, while guiding the Maroons to their only three University Athletic Association outright championships. Two of those came in his final two years in Chicago, both on perfect 14-0 league records.
