BOSTON, Mass. – The Bucknell women's tennis team opened league play with a 7-0 loss to 2022 Patriot League runner-up Boston U. on the road Saturday. A short-handed Bison squad put up a fight at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles, but the Terriers prevailed and improved to 2-1 on the season.
Sophomore Whitney King took the first set off Boston's Shelly Yaloz in the top singles slot but ultimately fell to the 2019 PL Rookie of the Year.
Bucknell's No. 1 tandem, King and Tyne Miller, were also leading 5-4 over Yaloz and Kaitlin Tan before the Terriers secured the doubles point with wins at No. 2 and No. 3.
Anna Lajos and Mirra Manolov each saw close matches and played to tiebreaks during their first two sets before falling at No. 2 and No. 5 singles, respectively.
The Bison travel to Kingston, R.I. Sunday to take on the Rhode Island Rams at 4:30 p.m.
