Bucknell at a Glance

The Bucknell women's tennis team takes on Hofstra on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Central PA Tennis Center.
The Bison fell in both of their dual matches last weekend, at home versus Villanova and on the road at Delaware. The Bison opened its spring campaign against Villanova on Saturday evening, losing 4-1 in a hard-fought match that was played to clinch. On Sunday, a strong Blue Hens squad won 7-0.
Senior Whitney King and junior Abby Platt picked up a pair of doubles wins for the Bison last weekend. All three matches ended 6-4 as Villanova took two wins to clinch the point. Platt went on to win her singles match, dominating the first set before her opponent retired due to injury.
On Sunday, King and Platt once again won their doubles match to improve their record as a duo to 44-11 in their career.
The Bison competed in four tournaments and one dual match in the fall. They downed Franklin & Marshall 6-1 in the lone dual on Oct. 19.
Bucknell compiled a 40-22 (.645) singles record and a 19-10 (.655) doubles mark in the fall. Leading the way were freshmen Natalie Devraj and Cameron King with 7-1 records, followed by King (6-2) and junior Mirra Manolov (6-3) with six wins apiece.
Cameron King also went 6-1 in doubles, including a 3-0 mark with Tori Allen at the Bucknell Invitational.
Whitney King and Abby Platt represented Bucknell at the Patriot League ITA Conference Masters qualifier at West Point. King won her opening match in straight sets against Lehigh's Hamsa Jagaval but fell to Army's Emma Sy in the quarterfinals. Platt lost a tough three-setter to Lafayette's Alyssa Perdomo in the first round.
The Bison have 18 dual matches on the spring schedule, all leading up to the Patriot League Tournament, which will be hosted by Colgate on Apr. 24-27.
