2/26/2023 5:05:00 PM | Men's Tennis
LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell men's tennis team won its sixth straight dual match, extending the program's longest winning streak in 21 years, with a 5-2 result at St. Bonaventure on Sunday afternoon. Junior Tim Zelikovsky and freshmen Amar Tahirovic and Oscar Bain Moreno de Vega were all two-time winners against the Bonnies to help the Bison improve to 6-4 on the season.
Bucknell's six-match winning streak is the team's longest since opening the 2001-02 season with seven dual wins in a row.
The Bison claimed the doubles point for the seventh straight match. Tahirovic and Bain won 6-3 at No. 2 doubles, and Zelikovsky and freshman Brendan McDonald won by the same score at No. 3. McDonald is now 17-3 in doubles this season.
Straight-set wins from Nick Mueller at No. 2 and Zelikovsky at No. 4 brought the Bison to the brink of victory, and Tahirovic clinched it with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Rasmus Egehus at No. 1. Bain added a 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 6 to make the final 5-2.
Next up for the Bison is the first Patriot League dual of the season on Friday at home against Loyola. Bucknell will also host Fordham and Marist later in the weekend, with all of the matches slated for the Varsity Tennis Courts, weather permitting.
