The Lehigh men and women continue their season-opening home stand this weekend, competing in a total of three matches. On Saturday, the Lehigh men (4-1) face Delaware (0-0) in a match scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. The Mountain Hawks have won four consecutive matches, including wins over Stony Brook and Drexel. Ryan Cann is streaking as of late for Lehigh. The senior from Rocky Hill, NJ has won four consecutive matches, two doubles and two singles. He and his doubles partner Ty Esler have won four straight doubles matches. The dynamic duo did not compete together in the opening match of the season. On the women’s side, Lehigh will play two matches this weekend. Saturday the Mountain Hawks (3-2) host Delaware (0-0) at 11:00 a.m., while West Virginia (1-5) comes to town Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Kristen Nowicki continues to spark Lehigh, winning her first five singles matches. Combined with Nowicki’s performance, Lehigh has won three of its last four matches, including a hard fought victory over Drexel last weekend. The weekend of action will be the last chance for tennis fans to cheer on the Mountain Hawks for almost a month. Lehigh will next compete in Florida during spring break, playing Kentucky, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Florida Gulf Coast, Tampa, and Eckerd. For more information, contact
