BETHEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's tennis team continues its season opening home stand Sunday as the Mountain Hawks welcome Saint Francis (Pa.) in a non-league matchup. The Mountain Hawks will be looking for their third straight win to start the season and will put their 15-match home win streak on the line against the Red Flash.
Â
Lehigh moved to 2-0 last Sunday with their second straight 4-3 win as the Mountain Hawks edged the Monmouth Hawks. The Mountain Hawks prevailed in a close match to improve to 10-0 in their last ten meetings against the Hawks.
Â
In doubles action, Lehigh's top two teams consisting of senior Mark Goldberg and junior Mitchell Petersen, and junior Ben Gilman and sophomore Jeremy Kochman delivered 6-2 victories to give the Mountain Hawks a 1-0 lead.
Â
Petersen set the table for the Mountain Hawks winning in straight sets in his No. 2 singles match, while freshman Ethan Bogard sealed the deal for the Mountain Hawks winning his match against Monmouth's Jason Prezant in straight sets at No. 6 singles. Â
Â
The Red Flash come in at 1-2 on the season and will face Bucknell Saturday before making the trip to Bethlehem on Sunday. Saint Francis downed Saint Bonaventure last Sunday 4-3 for its first win after suffering losses to Navy and George Mason.
Â
Lehigh and Saint Francis are meeting for the third straight season. The Mountain Hawks claimed a 5-2 victory in 2012 and shut out the Red Flash 7-0 last season.
Â
The match begins at 9 a.m. Sunday in the Lewis Tennis Center. Following the match the Mountain Hawks will conclude their home stand against Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday February 8 before heading to Penn State the following day to face the Nittany Lions.
