“It was an electric weekend playing for Bucknell Women’s Tennis after sweeping both Loyola and Marist 7-0,” Platt said. “We gave 100 percent in all of our matches and the team showed more passion and spirit than ever. It will be a great segue into our spring break trip to Charleston, as we will be competing in three matches. I’m so proud of how our season has been going, and the team has so much more potential to prove.”
