3/13/2004 12:00:00 AM | Men's Tennis

Lakeland, FL – The Mountain Hawk tennis teams finished up their Spring Break trip to Florida on Friday, splitting two matches with Eckerd College.  The men dropped a tough 4-3 match, while the women dominated for the second straight match, winning 7-0.  Lehigh’s women’s team has now won five of their last six matches, and have won them by a combined score of 34-1.

 

On the men’s side, the doubles point was the deciding factor as each team won three singles matches. Freshmen Ryan Lloyd, Alfredo Fernandez-Concha, and Brad Nelson all won their singles matches, but Eckerd’s doubles tandems swept the sets 8-4, 8-6, 8-2 to take the fourth and victorious point.

 

For the women, Lehigh was again dominant, dropping only a single set for the second time this year in shutting out Eckerd. Co-captains Kristen Nowicki and Rachel Sampson led the way, teaming to win their doubles set 8-4 and winning their singles matches 6-1, 6-1, and 6-2, 6-1 respectively.  Maria Anorga was the only Mountain Hawk pushed to a third set, but she defeated Tiffany Kalvoda 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.

 

With the win, the women improve to 8-2 on the season, while the men fall to 5-3. Both teams return to action on Tuesday, March 16, with a trip to Bloomsburg, PA to take on West Chester.
