CONWAY, S.C. – Lehigh continued its spring break trip with a visit to Coastal Carolina on Monday but the host Chanticleers came away with a 4-1 victory over the Mountain Hawks at Stevens Tennis Complex. Freshman Elizabeth Nowak posted a straight set win for the Mountain Hawks at No. 4 singles to account for Lehigh's lone point. The Mountain Hawks fall to 4-6 with the setback.
 
Coastal Carolina (5-5) swept the doubles matches to take the early 1-0 lead. The closest match came at No. 3 where senior Grace Lin and junior Leigh Friedman fell 6-5 to Alicja Zduniak and Alexa Tiefel.
 
In singles play, Somer Dalla-Bona topped Lin 6-1, 6-2 at the third flight. Nowak put Lehigh on the board with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Jessie Mount at No. 4, but the Chanticleers closed things out with straight set wins at the No. 1 and No .5 flights.
