The Red Flash took a 1-0 shutout victory against nonconference Bucknell to add to their undefeated streak. In the 71st minute, freshman midfielder Joschi Schelb made a pass to sophomore forward Patrick Heron who drove the ball up the right sideline. Heron crossed the ball to freshman forward Fabian Wagner who bicycle kicked the ball into the net past the Bison's goalkeeper to score the match winner.
 
The goal was Wagner's first goal of his collegiate career. Schelb leads the Northeast Conference in points with eight and assists with four on the season. Schelb is also tied for eighth in the nation in total assists.
