ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Bucknell women's tennis team won three main draw titles at the Bill & Sandra Moore Invitational on Sunday at Navy's Brigade Sports Complex.
In their second weekend of collegiate competition, freshmen Whitney King and Anna Lajos emerged as champions. King captured the 'B' Courage singles crown while Lajos took first in the 'C' Commitment singles bracket.
King also teamed with senior captain Daniela Bellini for a championship at 'A' Honor doubles. To win their title, they defeated Navy's Jillian Taggart, a 2021 All-Patriot League First Team member, and Emily Tannenbaum by a decisive 8-3 margin.
"We had an amazing weekend," said head coach Tammy Cecchini. "Our players had amazing success against strong competition. I can't wait to see what they'll accomplish the rest of this season."
In the 'B' singles final, King toppled Navy's Samantha Johns, who went an impressive 7-1 as a freshman last spring, by a 6-4, 6-2 margin. To reach the finals, she posted a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Navy's Katreina Corpuz and a 6-4, 4-6, 10-8 win over Fairleigh Dickinson's Aleksandra Vorozheikina, a senior and two-time All-NEC honoree.
In the 'C' singles final, Lajos defeated Fairleigh Dickinson's Namie Isago, 6-1, 6-2. She advanced to the title match behind a 6-3, 4-6, 11-9 decision over Binghamton's Kyra Bergmann and a 6-4, 6-1 rout of St. Bonaventure's Alexandra Jansson.
Bellini and King impressed at the Bill & Sandra Moore Invitational. Beyond their defeat of a strong Navy side in the finals, they shut out Binghamton's Caterina Casadei and Lara Kaplan, 8-0, edged St. Bonaventure's Anastasia Gubanova and Andrea Roque, 8-6, and clipped Navy's Corpuz and Meghana Komarraju, 8-7.
Not to be outdone, junior Chloe Zilkha battled back from a first-round loss to win the consolation finals at 'E' Endurance singles. Zilkha blanked Monmouth's Sydney DeNardo, 6-0, 6-0, and dispatched Fairleigh Dickinson's Aishwarya Gandotra, 6-1, 6-0.
The Bison next conclude their fall schedule by traveling to Toledo's Rocket Invite on Oct. 1-2.
