LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell's men's and women's tennis matches against Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday, March 21, have been cancelled due to low temperatures and will not be rescheduled.
The Bison were originally set to have a two-match week against Fairleigh Dickinson at home on Tuesday afternoon and against Villanova on the road, Wednesday afternoon. Both matches were cancelled due to rain. The Fairleigh Dickinson match was rescheduled for Friday, March 21, but now will not be played. The women's match at Villanova has been rescheduled for Monday, March 31, and the men's match has been rescheduled for Wednesday, April 2.
An additional change to the schedule made this week, is that both the men's and women's matches against Mount St. Mary's will be played at home at Bucknell's Varsity Tennis Courts on March 25, instead of in Emmitsburg, Md.
