BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The Lehigh volleyball team will play its final home match of the 2013 season when the Mountain Hawks host Patriot League rival Bucknell on Friday night before heading north to take on first-place Colgate Saturday. Friday's match is slated to begin at 7 p.m. in Leeman-Turner Arena, while Saturday's contest begins at 3 p.m., and each contest will air for free on the Patriot League Network.
With an 18-7 record including wins in five of their last six, the Mountain Hawks look to remain hot with the Patriot League Tournament looming. Lehigh sits fourth in the standings with a 9-4 record in Patriot League play. Bucknell enters Friday's showdown last in the league with a 2-11 record and 9-14 overall mark.
Lehigh is coming off a hard-fought win against Loyola on Saturday. The Mountain Hawks took the first two sets of the match, both by a score of 25-23. The Greyhounds stayed tough, taking set three by the same score. Despite trailing 10-3 early in the fourth, Lehigh was able to fight back behind 14 team kills and take the set, winning the match 3-1.
Juniors Jade Van Streepen and Kaylynn Genemaras have paced the team offensively all season and sit one-two on the team in kills. Van Streepen leads with 256 kills, while Genemaras is close behind with 217. The Mountain Hawks' service game continues to shine as Lehigh finds itself leading the nation in service aces per set with 1.92. Senior Rachel Charles leads the league in aces, and ranks 11th nationally, with an average of 0.48 per set.
Bucknell is coming off two-straight shutout losses last weekend against American and Navy. The Bison were stymied in both matches, putting up 19 or less points in five of the six sets. The losses marked the ninth and tenth times that Bucknell has been shutout this season, with nine of those coming in the past 13 matches.
The Bison have had a balanced offensive attack, with six different athletes recording at least 130 kills on the season. Freshman Jordan Walker leads the team in the category with 163. Sophomore Katie Price has anchored the team defensively, notching a team-leading 348 digs thus far on the season.
Lehigh leads the all-time series against the Bison 40-27. The two teams met earlier this season with the Mountain Hawks winning by way of a 3-0 shutout.
Following Friday's game, the Mountain Hawks will hit the road to take on first-place Colgate in Hamilton on Saturday at 3 p.m. Heading into the weekend, the Raiders have won eight straight matches and have recorded seven consecutive shutout victories. In its most recent matches, Colgate recorded straight set wins over Army and Holy Cross on the road. The Raiders will face Navy on Friday night before the Mountain Hawks come to town.
Diane Seely and Kathleen Harris lead the Raiders' offense with 269 and 249 kills, respectively. Kaylee Fifer has tallied 886 assists on the season, while Caitlin Cremin has recorded 405 digs.
The defending Patriot League Champion Raiders topped the Mountain Hawks 3-1 in the first meeting of the season inside Leeman-Turner Arena.

The fourth set was a close battle with 14 ties and six lead changes, but the Raiders were able to squeeze out a 25-23 win. Colgate leads the all-time series 35-14.
The Mountain Hawks will conclude the regular season with a match next Friday, Nov. 15 at American.
