LEWISBURG, Pa. – Sophomore Harrison Gold made an immediate impact on the Bucknell men's tennis team in his first season in Lewisburg, and on Thursday he was rewarded with First Team All-Patriot League honors.
Gold, a transfer from UNC Wilmington, was one of six players named to the First Team after jumping right into the No. 1 singles and doubles spots in the Bison lineup. He posted a 5-1 singles record against Patriot League opponents this spring (8-11 overall), including a key three-set win over Jonah Dickson of Boston University in Bucknell's 4-3 victory in the Patriot League Tournament quarterfinals. Gold's only loss to a conference foe came at the hands of Navy senior Derrick Thompson, who was named Patriot League Player of the Year.
Gold was even better in doubles, where he went 15-5 overall and was 5-0 in Patriot League regular-season matches. Among those victories was a 7-6 (9-7) thriller alongside Nick Mueller over Navy's Thompson and Jake Fishkin in Annapolis on Apr. 9.
Gold was joined on the All-Patriot League First Team by Navy's Thompson and Gavin Segraves, Army's Diego Huttepain and A.J. Woodman, and Lehigh's Zack Elliott. Second Team honorees were Dickson, Navy's Finn Garner and Sasha Panyan, Army's Sam Eden, Colgate's Jack Selati, and Lehigh freshman Marc Blekhman, who was also named Rookie of the Year.
Gold was 2-1 against other All-Patriot League honorees this spring, and he was even at a set apiece against Elliott when that match was clinched.
Bucknell went 4-3 against Patriot League competition and 10-17 overall against a difficult schedule this spring. The Bison were the No. 4 seed in the Patriot League Tournament and were eliminated by top-seeded Navy in the semifinal round.
