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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
