BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's tennis team will hit the road for its first away match of the spring season Saturday when the Mountain Hawks take on defending Patriot League Champion Navy at 2 p.m.
Lehigh is 10-2 this season and 1-0 in Patriot League action. The Mountain Hawks earned a 7-0 sweep of Loyola in the team's league opener last Sunday before Lehigh saw its eight-match win streak come to an end Wednesday with a 6-1 loss to visiting non-league foe Temple. Reigning Patriot League Player of the Week senior Jeremy Kochman has picked up seven victories at the top flight of singles and gone 9-2 at No. 1 doubles to lead Lehigh this season. Sophomore Jack Petersen is 10-1 in singles action, while junior Ethan Bogard is 8-0.
Navy will be playing its first league match of the season and carries a 12-7 record into Saturday's contest. The Mids split their Spring Break matches last week with a 4-2 loss at Elon and 6-1 win at The Citadel. Navy is 11-3 when playing at home this season compared to its 1-4 away record. Austin Jones leads the team with 18 singles and 14 doubles victories, while Walker Sims follows with 15 singles wins.
Navy earned a 5-2 win over the Mountain Hawks in last season's meeting on March 28, 2015 inside the Lewis Tennis Center. Kochman and graduated senior Mitchell Petersen earned Lehigh's two singles wins.
Following Saturday's match at Navy, Lehigh will return home next Saturday to host Colgate at 2 p.m.
