ERIE, Pa. – The Bucknell women's tennis team won its third straight dual match to level its season record at 4-4 with a 6-1 verdict at Mercyhurst on Sunday. Whitney King led the charge with wins at No. 1 singles and doubles, and the Bison posted five straight-set singles wins on the day.
Bucknell began the day by claiming the doubles point with wins at 1 and 3.
