BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh women's tennis team will wrap up its nine-match season-opening homestand this weekend when the Mountain Hawks host Saint Joseph's and Rider inside the Lewis Tennis Center. First serve against Saint Joseph's is set for 1 p.m. Saturday, while Lehigh will face Rider at 11 a.m. Sunday.
The Mountain Hawks are 3-4 this season and coming off a 7-0 sweep of Kutztown in Lehigh's most recent action last Sunday. Lehigh has also captured 7-0 wins over Mount St. Mary's and Saint Francis (Pa.) this season. Freshman Grace Lin and sophomore Briana Maravich have both secured five singles wins to lead Lehigh, while junior Jamie Campisi and sophomores Christina Auyeung and Kirstin Godau follow with four wins apiece. Godau is 5-1 in doubles action, while Auyeung and Campisi have gone 4-3 at the top flight of doubles.
Saint Joseph's carries a 2-1 record into Saturday's match. The Hawks dropped their season opener 5-2 at Navy before picking up home wins against Lafayette (7-0) and Quinnipiac (4-3). Saint Joseph's earned the doubles point against Quinnipiac before capturing wins at No. 1, 2 and 5 singles to earn the tight 4-3 victory. Aurora Davis is 6-1 in singles play for the Hawks this season, while the duo of Kristina Eisenbrand and Casey Robinson is 4-1 in doubles action.
Lehigh and Saint Joseph's last met in dual action in 2013 when the Hawks earned a 7-0 victory.
Rider is 0-1 this season as the Broncs fell 7-0 at Navy in the team's season opener on Feb. 28. The Broncs are coming off a 2015 season that saw Rider go 1-7. The last two scheduled meetings between Rider and Lehigh were cancelled due to weather.
Following this weekend's matches, Lehigh will begin preparations for the start of Patriot League play against Loyola on March 20. The Mountain Hawks' spring break trip to Puerto Rico was recently cancelled due to travel concerns caused by the Zika Virus.
