LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell's women's tennis team improved to 3-4 this spring with a 5-2 victory over St. Bonaventure Saturday at blustery Gerhard Fieldhouse Courts.

Inglis and Sichko also teamed for a key 8-3 victory over Michelle Kearney and Johanna Pesola at No. 2 doubles.

Curcic and Sichko both yielded only a single game in their singles victories. Curcic was a 6-0, 6-1 winner over Amanda Pesono at No. 2, while Sichko improved to a team-best 12-3 this season with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Jennifer Iannone at No. 5. Inglis provided the clinching point with a 6-4, 7-5 win over Kearney at No. 4 singles.

For St. Bonaventure, Pesola defeated Jill Wurzburg 6-4, 6-3 at No. 1, and Natalie Rumpel won a three-setter from Ashley Diers at No. 3.
