BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh volleyball team will kick off a seven-match road trip with its final non-league tune-up of the season when the Mountain Hawks travel to Fordham Tuesday. First serve is set for 7 p.m.
Lehigh will be looking to bounce back from a straight-set loss to Patriot League-leading American Saturday that snapped the Mountain Hawks' four-match win streak. Senior Leah Turner led the way with 19 kills and classmate Stephanie Slater chipped in 13, but the Mountain Hawks weren't able to stop the Eagles who hit .323 for the match. Lehigh carries an 11-9 record into Tuesday's contest.
Turner leads the team and ranks second in the Patriot League with 250 kills, good for an average of 3.57 per set. Senior Amy Matula has dished a team-best 549 assists, while junior Mariah Brantley has registered a squad-high 266 digs.
Fordham is currently 8-14 on the season and is coming off a 3-2 victory over La Salle Saturday. Natalie Martinez led the Rams with 11 kills, seven service aces and six blocks. Emily Fronk dished 26 assists and Breanna Jones registered 12 digs.
Breanna Jones leads the team with 205 kills and is followed by Martinez with 173. Fronk has tallied 493 assists and Brennan Delsing leads the team with 182 digs. The Rams have hit .173 as a team compared to their opponents' average of .211.
The Mountain Hawks cruised to a 3-0 (25-16, 25-16, 25-19) over the Rams last season inside Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall. Lehigh holds a 14-4 all-time advantage over Fordham.
