BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh volleyball team will host two Patriot League matchups this weekend as the Mountain Hawks welcome Holy Cross on Friday at 7 p.m. and Army on Saturday at 4 p.m. inside Leeman-Turner Arena. The Association of Student Alumni (ASA) and Student Senate will be hosting a "White-Out" at Friday's match against Holy Cross and fans are encouraged to wear white. The match against the Black Knights will serve as Senior Day for the Mountain Hawks as Lehigh honors seniors Amanda Clark, Rachel Charles, Courtney McCutchan and Dana Raber.
The Mountain Hawks enter the weekend's slate after recording two wins in last weekend's matchups.

Lehigh holds a 6-3 league record and 15-6 overall mark heading into the weekend.
Lehigh currently leads the nation in service aces, averaging 2.01 per set. Charles' average of 0.52 aces per set ranks ninth in the country and first in the Patriot League. Charles also leads the league in digs per set, averaging 4.76. The Mountain Hawks lead the Patriot League in assists with an average of 12.51 per set. Junior Jade Van Streepen's 3.34 kills per set average puts her in third place in the league, while sophomore Amy Matula sits in fourth place with 8.95 assists per set.
The Mountain Hawks will meet the Crusaders for the second time this season on Friday night.

Holy Cross will enter Friday's match on the heels of two 3-0 losses to Army in its most recent contests on Oct. 15 and Oct. 19. Natalie Welsch leads the team with 198 kills, followed by Katie McKernan with 115. McKernan has also tallied 520 assists, while Emily Popp has notched 321 digs.
The Mountain Hawks will be searching for their 12th straight win over the Crusaders on Friday. Lehigh leads the all-time series 33-11.

Army rides a six game winning streak and carries an 8-1 Patriot League record into the weekend. The Black Knights will stop in Lewisburg to play Bucknell on Friday night before heading to Bethlehem on Saturday.
In the first meeting of the season, Army topped Lehigh in a 3-2 heartbreaker on Sept. 20 in West Point. The Mountain Hawks led 2-1 before Army was able to rally and take a 29-27 set four victory and set up the fifth set. The Black Knights proved to have more stamina as they outlasted the Mountain Hawks to win the deciding set, 15-9, and grab the 3-2 victory.
