BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's tennis team will have its first two-match weekend in more than a month as the Mountain Hawks will travel to Navy in Patriot League action Saturday before returning home to host Villanova in a non-league match Sunday at 10 a.m.
Â
The Mountain Hawks have won both of their matches since returning from their spring break trip to Florida as Lehigh defeated Loyola and Colgate to open league play at 2-0.
Â
Last weekend, Lehigh (8-6) swept the doubles point and then won the first four singles matches to finish, building a 5-0 lead before Colgate won the final two matches.
Â
First-year Jackson Morash delivered the clinching point with his win at No. 5 singles. Sophomore Marc Blekhman won again at No. 3 singles. Blekhman has won nine straight singles matches to improve to a team-leading 12-2 in singles play. He and Sean Jaeger are 5-2 this season at No. 2 doubles, while senior Jeremy Learner and junior Jordan Paul own a 6-3 mark at the top flight.
Â
Navy is 12-17 on the season. The Midshipmen defeated Boston University 4-2 in their league opener last weekend. Navy is the defending Patriot League champion in men's tennis.
Â
Saturday's match will begin at 1 p.m. from the Tose Family Tennis Center in Annapolis, Md.
Â
On Sunday, Lehigh is back home to host Villanova at 10 a.m. The Wildcats are 6-10 and are coming off a 7-0 loss at St. John's Wednesday. Lehigh has won the last two meetings in the series, including a 5-2 victory last March in Bethlehem.
Â
Next weekend, Lehigh will head to West Point, N.Y. to face Army on Friday April 7 and Boston University on Saturday April 8.
