BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's tennis team continued its hot start to the season with a 7-0 win over Siena on Saturday. The Mountain Hawks (2-0) are now off to their best start since the 2015-16 season.
For the second consecutive match, Lehigh obtained the doubles point in thanks to two close matches. The top two teams showed their grit and found a way to close out wins. Harry Wang and Zack Elliott defeated the Siena tandem, 7-5, while the No. 2 team of Jacob Edelchik and Gary Fishkin also won 7-5. For the first time competing in doubles this spring, the pair of Andrew Nakhajavan and Steven Nazaroff won against their opponents, 6-3.
In singles, Lehigh continued to excel in that area. The top four men won their matches in straight sets. The one-two punch of Elliott and Wang easily won their matches against the Saint.
