WEST POINT, N.Y. - Bucknell sophomore Tanya Sichko claimed gold in the back draw of the third flight at the Eastern Collegiate Women's Tennis Championship, held at Army on Friday-Sunday, September 13-15.

Freshman Rheanna Gaskin, playing at the fourth seed, also lost to Ketevan Shmakova of Rutgers, 3-6, 6-3, 6-0, in her only match of the day. The first doubles team of senior Jill Wurzburg and junior Samantha Berthod won their first match of the day, 8-6, over Connecticut's fourth-seeded Colleen Connors and April Dixon. The duo then dropped the semifinal round match to the top-seeded tandem of Annie Collier and Megan Noble of Army, 8-5.

She followed that match with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Linsey Dixon of New Hampshire in the consolation round of the back draw.
