LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell men's tennis team finished up play at the Bucknell Invitational on Sunday, with first-year head coach Jason Cohen's squad turning in a number of strong performances.

Most notably, two freshmen advanced to flight finals, with Brendan McDonald winning the B Singles championship and Amar Tahirovic falling in a three-setter in the A Singles final.

McDonald defeated Nick Huynh of Mount St. Mary's 6-2, 6-2 in the semifinals, and then he defeated Jarrett Karnibad of the Mountaineers 7-6, 6-3 in the final. That made McDonald a double winner on the weekend, as he also teamed with Nick Mueller to win the A Doubles title on Saturday.

Tahirovic had not dropped a set in the tournament until Sunday, when Adam Kush of Saint Francis (Pa.) prevailed 6-2, 3-6, 10-4.

In the A Singles consolation draw, Michael Owen defeated Nick McKenzie of Lafayette, 6-4, 6-3.

The Bison are back in action next weekend at the Villanova Invitational.
