BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh women's tennis team went 2-0 for the weekend, defeating Saint Francis 4-3 at Lewis Tennis Center on Sunday. Lehigh improved to 3-2 on the season with its back-to-back wins at home this weekend.Â

Sophomores Megha and Anushka Dania went on to win at the No. 2 spot to secure the doubles point for Lehigh. The duo picked up their fourth doubles win of the season in their 6-3 victory over Saint Francis' Anoek Pruijmbroom and Marie Discini.Â
Going into singles play with a 1-0 lead, Lehigh refused to let the match get away from them. Javagal picked up the win at the No. 1 spot, defeating Bente Vandeputte 6-4, 6-3. Both Megha and Anushka Dania went into three sets in their respective singles matches, but the duo came out on top, securing the victory for Lehigh.Â
