“With the week off we were able to put in a specific game plan for Army,” said head coach Amanda Moran. “For the first ten or so points in game one we executed that plan, but after a few long rallies didn’t go our way we reverted to some of the things that hurt us early in the season.”
Game one was the closest of the three. The Mountain Hawks hung with the Black Knights early on, but after working their way within three at 12-9, Lehigh allowed Army to go un a run as the Black Knights built a six point lead, then an eight point lead and went on to win the opening game 30-19.
Lehigh had just 22 kills on the night and the Mountain Hawks committed 30 attack errors, which resulted in a negative hitting percentage for the match.

Elizabeth Lazzari led a balanced Army attack with seven kills.
The Mountain Hawks will look to pull even at .500 in the Patriot League on Saturday, when the Mountain Hawks wrap up a short home stand with a match against Holy Cross. First serve set for 4:00 from Grace Hall.
