BETHLEHEM, Pa. – In its final home match of the season, the Lehigh women's tennis team dropped a 7-0 decision to Bucknell Tuesday inside the Lewis Tennis Center. The visiting Bison swept through all three doubles flights and all six singles matches. The loss drops Lehigh to 5-11 overall and 2-2 in the Patriot League while Bucknell is now 9-10 overall and 3-2 in the league.

Bucknell captured the doubles point by sweeping all three flights. The closest match came at No. 2 singles where Daria Tuzhikova and Courtney Casey downed the Lehigh team of junior Liz Piscitelli and sophomore Abbey Perl 8-5.

Perl put forth the top Lehigh performance in singles play, taking the first set from Elena Vidrascu at No. 5 singles 6-3, but Vidrascu rallied to win the second set and then prevailed in a third-set tiebreak 10-5. The Bison clinched the match with wins at No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 singles. Freshman Jenai Bilimoria played well in her match with Dumitrita Iepuras at No. 2 singles, but the Bison player won in straight sets 7-5, 6-3.

Lehigh will close out the regular season with two matches on the road, beginning Thursday when the Mountain Hawks travel to West Point, N.Y. to face first-place Army at 3 p.m.
