Things started well for the Brown and White as freshmen Arnaldo Pacheco and Cameron Silbert won 8-3 over Collin Laffey and Steve Kopf at No. 3 doubles, and the duo of senior John Nespoli and freshman Troy List won 9-78 over Marc Dickinson and Roman Silin at No. 1 doubles to give Lehigh a 1-0 edge.
Singles play was not as kind to the Mountain Hawks, as only List and freshman Chris Collins came away with victories. List needed three sets to defeat Alex Abji 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 at No. 2 singles, while Collins downed Joe Heckley 6-3, 6-3 at No. 6 singles.
The Mountain Hawks will return to action on Tuesday when they welcome
