BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Mountain Hawk men's team will return to action on Saturday to open their Patriot League slate with a matchup against Navy at 2 p.m. inside Lewis Tennis Center.
Lehigh (2-9, 0-0) will return to the courts for the first time since a 5-2 loss to Carnegie Mellon on March 15 in California. Saturday will also mark the first home match for the Mountain Hawks since a 5-2 setback to St. Francis on February 26.
Senior Ethan Bogard paces the team with a 5-3 singles record while playing primarily at fifth singles. Bogard has teamed up with fellow senior Colin Nardella for a 3-8 record in doubles play. The duo of Graham Lehman and Jack Petersen also own three wins on the season with a record of 3-2 while playing primarily at the second flight.
Navy (14-16, 0-1) opened its Patriot League slate with a 5-2 loss against Boston University on February 18. The Mids are 3-7 in their last 10 matches and are coming off a 4-1 win over Air Force last Saturday in Texas.
The Mountain Hawks were selected fourth in the 2017 Patriot League Preseason Poll and Navy was pegged second in the poll. Lehigh posted a league record of 5-3 last season to finish fifth in the standings, while the Mids went 5-0 to finish atop the standings.
Navy is 30-4-2 against Lehigh in the all-time series, including a record of 11-3 in Bethlehem. Lehigh is 2-5 at home this season and the Mids are 1-11 in true road matches this season.
