SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Bucknell women's tennis team defeated Le Moyne 6-1 at the Central PA Tennis Center on Sunday to wrap up a 2-0 weekend.

Bucknell earned wins at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles for a second day in a row, and Whitney King and Abby Platt bounced back from a loss yesterday and defeated Le Moyne's top doubles team on Sunday to secure the sweep and the first point of the dual. King and Platt posted a 6-1 decision to improve to a team-best 15 wins. Tyne Miller and Anna Lajos won at second doubles, and Madi Sebulsky joined Caroline Marcus in a 6-4 victory at third doubles.
