CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Bucknell men's tennis saw its fall season come to a close at the ITA Regionals on Friday as the Bison lost all three matches at the University of Virginia's Snyder Tennis Center. Kelly Morque and Evan Zimmer both fell in singles, while Zimmer and Josh Katten could not overcome the home team in doubles.
A day after playing his way into the main draw, Zimmer ran up against Jimmy Davis of George Mason. Davis came away with the victory 7-6, 6-2. Morque suffered a similar feat, losing 7-6, 6-3 to William & Mary's Aaron Chaffee.
Zimmer and Katten struggled to hold serve in their doubles match against Virginia's Ryan Shane and Jonathan Cornish. The Cavaliers came away with the 8-1 victory.
