BALTIMORE – Loyola clipped the Bucknell women's tennis team, 4-3, on Sunday at the McClure Tennis Center.
The Greyhounds (10-4-1, 3-2 PL) halted the Bison's (12-7, 3-2 PL) three-match winning streak with their tight victory, sealed with a three-set decision at fifth singles.
For Bucknell, senior captain Daniela Bellini remained unbeaten in Patriot League dual matches, now at 5-0, with her 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Olivia Tracey on the top court.
The Bison's other victors were first year Whitney King, who moved to 18-3 overall with a 6-3, 6-1 decision over Anna Rico at third singles, and sophomore Laurel Utterback, who defeated Jessica Bodewes in a hard-fought three sets, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. King's victory regained her the team lead in overall wins.
At first doubles, Bellini and King teamed for a 6-3 victory over Tracey and Rico. It vaulted their overall record to an amazing 21-3. Â
Bucknell next closes the regular season with a home match against Army West Point (April 16 at 12 p.m.) and an away contest at Towson (April 17 at 1 p.m.). Before their match against the Black Knights, the Bison will recognize Bellini, a two-time All-Patriot League honoree.
