In doubles, Lehigh's top team of sophomore Harry Wang and freshman Zack Elliott gave the Mountain Hawks a fast start with a 6-1 win over Owen Lu and David Bogatin, but the Terriers came back to win at the No. 2 flight. Lehigh clinched the doubles point at No. 3 as senior Bryant Born and freshman Andrew Nakhjavan edged Pete Siozios and Ethan Kolsky 7-6.
BU evened the match with a victory at the top singles flight as Lu topped Wang in straight sets, but Elliott won 6-4, 6-4 over Bogatin at No. 2 to put Lehigh back in front.
