EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. – The Bucknell women's tennis team fell 7-0 to Rutgers at the East Brunswick Racquet Club in the first match of the spring schedule on Saturday.
The Bison moved to 2-2 (0-0 PL) with the loss to the Big Ten foe and were swept for the first time after winning two of their three duals during the fall campaign.
Bucknell hung close in several spots, including at No. 3 doubles where Kate Novak and Mirra Manolov were narrowly edged 7-5 by Rutgers' Chloe Brown and Minchae Kim.
Tyne Miller also put up a fight through two sets at No. 3 singles before ultimately falling 6-4, 6-4 to Mai Nguyen in the final match of evening.
Bucknell looks to improve next week when it visits Boston U. for its first Patriot League match of the season. The Bison last faced the Terriers (1-0, 0-0 PL) in the 2021 Patriot League Tournament.
