BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's tennis team puts it 2-0 record on the line Friday at 5 p.m. when the Mountain Hawks host Stony Brook inside the Lewis Tennis Center.
Â
Lehigh opened its season last weekend with a pair of impressive victories as the Mountain Hawks took down Drexel 4-3 and Saint Francis (Pa.) 5-2. Lehigh handed both teams their first loss of the season. The Mountain Hawks claimed the final four singles matches as freshman George Cooper clinched the match at No. 5 singles in the 4-3 win over the Dragons. Lehigh earned the doubles points and four flights of singles, including a victory from freshman Bryant Born at No. 2 singles that clinched the match against the Red Flash.
Â
Sophomore Jack Petersen and freshman Christopher Auteri are both 2-0 in singles play so far this season, while senior Jeremy Kochman and junior Graham Lehman have won both their doubles matches at the top flight.
Â
Stony Brook will be seeing its first dual meet action of the spring season after its scheduled season opener at St. John's on Feb. 5 was postponed. The Seawolves are coming off a 5-8 2015 season.
Â
The Mountain Hawks earned a 4-3 victory over Stony Brook in last season's meeting on Feb. 13 inside the Lewis Tennis Center. Lehigh won three three-set singles matches and the contest was tied 3-3 going into No. 6 singles, but current junior Ethan Bogard rallied from a set down to defeat Brandon Stone and clinch the match for the Mountain Hawks.
Â
Following Friday's match, Lehigh will remain home to host Delaware and Mount St. Mary's next weekend.
