BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Saint John’s rolled to a 6-1 victory over Lehigh inside the Lewis Tennis Center on Thursday afternoon in the first meeting between the two teams since 1998.  The victory improves the Red Storm’s record to 5-4 on the season; the Mountain Hawks loss is their second straight.  Lehigh is now 8-3. 

 

The lone Lehigh win came at second singles, where junior Ryan Lloyd topped Tom Green of St. John’s by a score of 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5).  Lloyd improved his record to 7-3 at second flight singles on the season.
