WORCESTER, Mass. - Lehigh women's tennis had a perfect start to Patriot League play Tuesday afternoon, defeating Holy Cross 4-0. With the win, the Mountain Hawks improved to 10-3 on the season. Lehigh's 10 wins marks the first time the Mountain Hawks recorded double-figure wins since the 2017-18 season when they finished 11-10.

Allyce Gaborik and Maggie Forkner won on the No. 1 court 6-1, Anushkha and Megha Dania won on the No. 2 court 6-1, and Hamsa Javagal and Audrey Harrington pulled out a perfect 6-0 victory on the No. 3 court.

Anushka Dania was perfect in the first set, winning 6-0 before pulling out a victory with a 6-2 win in the final set.  

Forkner also gave up just one point at the No. 2 singles spot, defeating Ashley Zilora 6-0, 6-1. Forkner's win also clinched the victory for Lehigh after both teams played to clinch. 

Javagal found herself down 2–0 in the first set before coming back to secure a 7-5 victory in the first set. She did not get to finish her match and was tied 1-1 with Ahana Nagarkatti before the match ended.
