LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Bucknell women's tennis team won the doubles point, and two forced third sets in singles, but the Bison succumbed to Navy at the Varsity Tennis Courts Sunday afternoon. Navy won its fifth consecutive match after defeating Lehigh 7-0 on Friday, while Bucknell moved to 9-11 (1-2 PL).
Whitney King and Abby Platt teamed up for a 7-6 win at No. 1 doubles, and Madi Sebulsky joined Caroline Marcus in a 6-3 win at No. 3 doubles to give Bucknell a 1-0 lead. Sebulsky and Marcus are now 6-3 when playing as a tandem this season. King and Platt are 9-4 playing together.
