BETHLEHEM, Pa. – In its final tune-up before this weekend's Patriot League Championship the Lehigh men's golf team defeated rival Lafayette 300-316 in stroke play on the Grace Course at Saucon Valley Country Club. Senior Zach Allinson led the way with a low score of 73 in the play seven, score four format as the Mountain Hawks defeated their arch rivals by 16 strokes.
Lehigh actually had the four lowest scores overall. Junior Harley Abrams finished two strokes behind Allinson with a 75 while freshman Billy Johns and senior Jack Russell both carded rounds of 76.
