LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell freshman women's tennis player Veronica Brown (Derwood, Md./Colonel Zadok Magruder) has been named the Patriot League Women's Tennis Player of the Month for March, announced by the Patriot League earlier today. The award is only the second of its type awarding by the conference office.
Brown helped to lead the Bison to a 7-1 overall record, and a 1-0 mark against league rivals, during the month of March. The rookie posted a 7-1 second singles record last month, including victories over Lafayette's Lily Fardshisheh (6-3, 6-1) and Delaware's Christine Knox (6-4, 3-6, 6-0). Brown's lone loss of the month came to Pittsburgh's Niki Borza in three sets (6-4, 1-6, 10-4).
In doubles action, Brown teamed up with sophomore Nadezda Curcic for a 6-2 record at the first flight in March. The duo is 1-0 in conference action with an 8-5 win over Fardshisheh and Shannon Rowe of Lafayette for a 4-3 win over the Leopards in the Patriot League opener.
As a team, Bucknell is 9-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play. The team is in action next on Thursday, April 3, at Mount St. Mary's at 3:00 p.m.
