BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh women's tennis team will be much busier this weekend than last week. This time around, the Mountain Hawks will host Siena on Saturday at 1:00 p.m., while then facing Marist 22 hours later on Sunday. Both contests will be inside the Lewis Indoor Tennis Center.
With their season-opening win against Saint Francis last Saturday, the Mountain Hawks started the season off 1-0 for the first time since the 2007 season. The Brown and White will look to build off the success they achieved last weekend.
LAST TIME OUT

Then in doubles, all three pairs won easily. The freshmen duo of Ella Imhof and Junmoke James produced their first wins of the spring.
QUOTABLE
"The women had a great start to the season against a gritty and determined Saint Francis team," claimed assistant coach Hannah Fleckenstein. "Throughout the past two weeks of practices, I have seen a lot of talent and hard work, but most importantly a lot of heart. I am proud of the way they competed. With every week I hope to see them work harder, hone in more and get hungrier for each match."
