WEST POINT, N.Y. – After playing in a close match against Holy Cross on Friday night, the Mountain Hawks returned to the court on Saturday afternoon to face the Army Black Knights at the Gillis Field House.

Game scores were 30-23, 30-19 and 30-15.
Lehigh, 0-21 overall and 0-7 in league play, remained just about point-for-point through the first part of the match, however, Army was able to score seven unanswered points late in the second game to shift the momentum completely to its side.
The Mountain Hawks jumped out to a quick lead in the third game. However, the Black Knights regained momentum and were able to build a ten-point cushion midway through the third game.
