BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh saw its 18 match home winning streak come to an end Saturday as visiting Stony Brook rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Mountain Hawks inside the Lewis Tennis Center. The Mountain Hawks won the doubles point but could only muster wins in two of the six singles matches.
Â
The loss, Lehigh's first at home since a 5-2 setback to Marist on April 13, 2012, dropped the Mountain Hawks to 5-2 on the season.
Â
Things started well as Lehigh claimed the doubles point with wins at the No. 1 and No. 3 flights. Junior Ben Gilman and sophomore Jeremy Kochman won 8-3 over Marcelo Locatelli and Jose Morales at the top flight, while at No. 3 doubles, junior Mitchell Petersen teamed with freshman Ethan Bogard to beat Tyler Hoffman and Brandon Stone 8-2.
Â
Stony Brook's comeback began with two straight set wins in the top four singles flights. Raphael Termat defeated Petersen 6-1, 6-3 at the No. 2 flight and Jose Morales downed senior Timur Chernykh 6-4, 7-6 (5) at No. 4 singles.
Â
In the top flight, Gilman fell in three sets to Felisa but Kochman grabbed a point back with a three set win over Locatelli at No. 3 singles.
Â
The Seawolves clinched the match at No. 5 singles as Hoffman defeated freshman Tyler Hansen 7-5, 6-1. Bogard earned Lehigh's third point with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Stone at the sixth flight.
Â
The Mountain Hawks will look to rebound on Sunday when they host Delaware at 2 p.m. inside the Lewis Tennis Center.
