LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell junior Michael Owen on Monday earned one of the six spots on the Academic All-Patriot League Men's Tennis Team.
Owen, a junior from Folkestone, England, was a mainstay in the Bison singles and doubles lineup all season, and he has maintained a 3.80 cumulative grade-point average as an economics major. A Dean's List Student and an ITA Scholar-Athlete, Owen has served as an analyst in the Bucknell Finance Society and a member of the executive committee in the Bucknell Real Estate Club. He has been an ambassador for Shepway Sports Trust, and last summer he worked as a test and trace enquiries agent with the NHS.
Owen, who represents the men's tennis team on the Bucknell Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, enjoyed a strong 2021-22 season on the courts. He played primarily in the No. 3 singles position and finished with a 17-16 overall record, including a 13-11 mark in dual matches and a 4-2 record against Patriot League opponents.
In doubles, Owen finished 14-13 overall, mainly in the No. 2 spot, although he did go 3-2 at No. 1 doubles.
Owen earned Patriot League Player of the Week honors on Feb. 1 after he won a doubles match against Michigan State and a singles match against Toledo.
Owen was joined on the Academic All-Patriot League Team by Navy's Derrick Thompson, Lehigh's Zack Elliott and Michael Bukhalo, and Loyola's Edik Pribitkin and Matt Cardano. Thompson was selected as the Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
The Bucknell men's tennis team 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.
