BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Mountain Hawks return to action this Saturday as they take on league opponent Colgate at 2 p.m. on the Ulrich Varsity Courts. Inclement weather forced the cancellation of Monday's match at Saint Joseph's meaning that Lehigh has played just one competitive match since March 20.
Lehigh's final five regular season contests will be league matches beginning with Saturday's match against the Raiders, which will also serve as senior day. Seniors Mark Goldberg and Timur Chernykh will be recognized prior to Saturday's match.
Last time out, Lehigh dropped its Patriot League opener to Army 6-1 Saturday inside the Lewis Tennis Center. The loss dropped the Mountain Hawks to 8-6 overall. Junior Ben Gilman won his match at No. 2 singles to account for Lehigh's only point. The win evened Gilman's season record at 7-7, one behind his doubles partner sophomore Jeremy Kochman, who is 8-3. Gilman and Kochman are 9-4 in doubles together this season.
Led by senior captains Bobby Berkowitz and Luke Gensberg, the Raiders enter their meeting with Lehigh at 9-7 overall and 3-2 in the Patriot League. Colgate lost its last match 6-1 to Marist. In the league, the Raiders own wins over Holy Cross, Navy and Bucknell, with the two losses to Army and Boston University.
In the last meeting between these two teams, the Mountain Hawks defeated Colgate 6-1. Lehigh has won four straight meetings in the series, with Colgate's last win coming in 2010.
The match will be held at Ulrich Varsity Courts, with first serves set for 2 p.m. Following Lehigh's date with Colgate, the Mountain Hawks take on Bucknell at home on Wednesday, before traveling to Maryland for a meeting against Navy on Saturday April 19.
