WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Lehigh men's tennis team picked up its 10th win of the season with a dominant performance in a 7-0 blanking of Holy Cross Saturday at Army's Lichtenberg Tennis Center. The Mountain Hawks won all three doubles matches and swept the six singles matches to win their Patriot League opener and improve to 10-4 overall.
 
In doubles action Lehigh raced to an early 1-0 lead by sweeping the three matches. Seniors Troy List and Collin Laffey won 8-4 at No. 1 doubles, while coach Dave Shook shuffled his doubles teams, sending out freshman Mark Goldberg and junior Ryan Krueger to win at No. 2 doubles and seniors Cameron Silbert and Arnaldo Pacheco to win at No. 3.
 
Lehigh's dominance continued into singles play, where no Mountain Hawk dropped more than five games en route to straight set wins. Laffey and sophomore Andrew Krentz turned in the most dominant performances, with 6-1, 6-0 wins at No. 2 and No. 6 singles. Laffey downed Chris Das, while Krentz rolled past Ajeya Shekar.
