BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh volleyball is looking to get back on track following two losses last weekend, as the Mountain Hawks (6-13, 2-6 PL) head to Washington, D.C. to take on American Saturday at 4 p.m. The matchup will be a rematch of last Friday's match between the two teams, as the Eagles (10-10, 4-4 PL) battled back to win in five sets at Grace Hall.
Â
Lehigh dropped a road contest to Holy Cross last Sunday after falling to AU and are looking to snap the two-match losing streak. Against the Crusaders, it was a trio of Mountain Hawks that finished with double-digit kills, led by Sabrina Lancaster (11), Ava Hudson (11) and Emily Stewart (11). Makena Smith registered 32 assists and Ally Thaw had 19 digs.
Â
At this juncture of the season, it's freshman Megan Schulte that has made the most impact offensively, with a team-high 212 kills and 3.03 kills per set to her name. She is also third on the team in blocks with 40 and fourth in digs with 137.
Â
Other statistical leaders include Makena Smith at 574 assists and 23 service aces, Kyleigh Brown at 214 digs and Emily Stewart at 74 blocks.
Â
The Mountain Hawks are hitting .187 as a team so far this season in 19 matches, averaging 11.8 kills per set.
Â
AU comes into the weekend following a 3-0 win at Navy on Wednesday night. The Eagles fell in five sets over the weekend to Army West Point, right after defeating Lehigh on the road.
Â
Against the Midshipmen, it was Zeynep Uzen who led the way with 17 kills, Asli Celikkol had 10. Chiara Bosetti had 21 digs and Bridget Javitch provided a spark at the service line with three aces.
Â
Looking at the Patriot League standings, AU currently sits in fifth position at 4-4 in the league, a game in front of Navy (3-5) in sixth and two in front of Lehigh (2-6) in seventh. Bucknell and Holy Cross round out the league standings at eighth and ninth, respectively.
Â
AU is attempting to go for its 40th all-time victory over Lehigh on Saturday, leading the series, 39-7. The Eagles are victorious in the last three matchups and seven of the last eight.
Â
Saturday's matchup will be streamed live on ESPN+ (subscription required).
