ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Navy picked up its first ever Patriot League win in women’s tennis at Lehigh’s expense as the Midshipmen downed the Mountain Hawks 6-1 Friday afternoon on the USNA Tennis Courts. Sophomore Izzy Breit won her match for Lehigh at No. 6 singles to account for the Mountain Hawks’ lone point as the Brown and White fell to 2-10 overall and 1-2 against league foes.
The Midshipmen won for the fifth time in six matches, improving to 8-3, 1-1 in the league.
In doubles action, Navy swept all three matches to take an early 1-0 lead. The closest match was at No.1 doubles where Emani Decquir and Brittney Boucher edged senior Julie Arthofer and sophomore Liz Piscitelli 8-6.
In singles play, the Mids continued their success winning the first five flights in straight sets. Lehigh netted its only point as Breit downed Lindsay Olsen 6-3, 6-4 at No. 6 singles.
