The Orange and Blue faced their first dual match of the year on Saturday, Oct. 18. The Bison easily defeated Millersville 5-2, going 3-0 in doubles play and 4-2 in singles. Natalie Devraj \u201928 stepped up as the team leader as the only Bison with wins in both doubles and singles from the day.<\/p>\n
The day opened with some quality doubles play from Bucknell, as sophomore pair Devraj and Cameron King \u201928 set the tone with a 6-2 victory. Abby Platt \u201926 and Riley Jennings \u201928 followed suit with a 6-0 win, and dynamic duo Mirra Manolov \u201926 and Jaycie Mair \u201927 closed out against their opponents, 6-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Devraj also dominated her singles match in straight 6-0 sets. Tori Allen \u201927 followed suit with a 6-4, 6-1 win. Mariana Shulman \u201929 and Summer Even-Esh \u201929 finished off Millersville in their singles games, 6-2, 6-0 and 6-3, 6-3, respectively. Despite King and Kate Purpura \u201929 losing their singles matches, the Bison scored enough singles wins to overpower Millersville.<\/p>\n
Jennings and Platt will be back in action this weekend for the Patriot League ITA Conference Masters Qualifiers in Bethlehem, Pa. They will compete in the singles bracket for Bucknell.<\/p>\n
