RICHMOND, Va. – The Bucknell men's tennis team posted a 4-3 singles record, with three of the four wins coming in three-set matches, on day two of the River City Open, hosted by Richmond. No. 43 Amar Tahirovic, Adam Stavrakas, and Liam Kilmer all won singles tilts for the second straight day, and Brendan McDonald joined them in the winner's circle on Saturday.
Tahirovic won his second straight-set match of the weekend, defeating Richmond's Paxton Pritchard 7-5, 6-2. Stavrakas dropped the first set but came back to beat William & Mary's Austin Cohen 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Kilmer won a tightly contested 7-6 (8-6), 4-6, 6-3 verdict over William & Mary's Nikita Bortnichek, and McDonald outlasted Richmond's Nathan Germino 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
