Bucknell at a Glance

With a favorable weather forecast on tap for Sunday, the Bison have made some schedule adjustments for this weekend. The St. Bonaventure match has been rescheduled from Saturday to Sunday at 1 p.m. and will now be played outdoors on campus. The Bloomsburg has been postponed until later in the spring.
Bucknell won twice last week to improve to 5-2 on the season. The Bison dominated Mount St. Mary's 7-0 last Friday, and then on Sunday defeated Le Moyne 6-1 in a tougher test that featured a number of close matches.
With his two wins last week, senior Tim Zelikovsky improved to a team-best 16-1 in singles, including a 7-0 mark in duals. With 58 career singles wins, he needs just one more to join the top 10 in team history. Zelikovsky brings an eight-match winning streak into Sunday's tilt against the Bonnies.
Oscar Bain Moreno de Vega (15-5), Amar Tahirovic (13-4), Liam Kilmer (13-3, and Adam Stavrakas (11-6) also have double-digit win totals.
Tahirovic, who plays in the No. 1 spot in both singles and doubles, has a team-best 18-4 doubles mark, including a 5-1 record in duals with partner Brendan McDonald. Bucknell has won the doubles point in six of its seven matches this spring.
Bucknell now has an 87-34 (.719) combined singles record and a 48-22 (.686) doubles mark.

St. Bonaventure at a Glance/Series History

The Bonnies are looking to snap a four-match losing streak, although the last three of those setbacks have been by 4-3 margins to Buffalo, Davenport, and Michigan Tech. Their two dual-match wins were a 4-3 decision over Niagara in October, and a 6-1 victory over Fordham on Feb. 10.
St. Bonaventure went 10-10 last season and fell to Fordham 4-2 in the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
Archie Graham (1-2), Rasmus Egehus (0-3), and Connor Turner (0-4) have all played dual matches in the No. 1 spot. Anargha Ganguly (9-6) and Jean Marrero (7-5) both have winning records playing in the bottom half of the singles lineup.
Bucknell is 6-9 all-time against St. Bonaventure, but the Bison have won the last two.
Bucknell won 5-2 in last year's meeting in Olean. Zelikovsky, Tahirovic and Bain were all two-time winners for the Bison. Tahirovic's three-set win over Egehus at No. 1 clinched the victory.

Next Up

Bucknell will next head to California for three matches during Spring Break. The Bison play Westmont on March 11, UC Riverside on March 13, and Loyola Marymount on March 14.
