Doubles action was relatively close at No. 1 and No. 3 flights. Senior John Nespoli and freshman Troy List battled Ben Stein and Amrit Rupasinghe, losing 9-7 at first doubles, while sophomore brothers J.T. and Robbie Bolcar lost 8-6 to Max Berger and Ryan Mannelly at third doubles.
Bates picked up four wins in straight sets in singles play, plus a 9-7 pro-set win by Stein over Nespoli at No. 1 singles to hand Lehigh its fourth straight loss overall.
The Mountain Hawks will return to the courts on Wednesday when they host Robert Morris in a match that’s scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. from Lehigh’s Ulrich Varsity Courts.
