LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell junior Harrison Gold was named Patriot League Men's Tennis Player of the Week on Tuesday. Gold, who plays in the No. 1 spot in both singles and doubles, is off to a strong start to the 2023 spring season against tough competition.
Gold's 2023 singles debut was a 6-3, 0-6, 6-3 win over Florida Gulf Coast's Magnus Johnson, the two-time Atlantic Sun Player of the Year who was No. 123 in the ITA singles rankings at the time of the match. A day later, Gold posted a straight-set win over Sahmirul Shahril of Southern Miss.
On Saturday, Gold dropped a tight three-setter to Delaware's James Wilkinson, who is one of the top players in the Colonial Athletic Association. Wilkinson defeated Penn State's No. 1 player a day later.
Gold is also off to a 2-1 start in doubles. He and freshman Brendan McDonald beat Wilkinson and William Wibmer 6-3 at No. 1 doubles in the Delaware dual. Gold also teamed up with Nick Mueller for a 6-3 win against Southern Miss.
Gold was a First Team All-Patriot League honoree a season ago in his first year as a Bison after transferring from UNC Wilmington.
Bucknell is back in action on Saturday, Feb. 4 against Villanova in Hershey, Pa.
