Lehigh Visits NJIT In Last Meet Before Patriot League Play

3/21/2024 5:24:00 PM | Men's Tennis

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh men's tennis gears up for one more non-league contest prior to the start of Patriot League play next weekend. The Mountain Hawks will travel east to Newark, N.J. on Saturday, March 23 for a meeting with the NJIT Highlanders.

Lehigh (6-6) traveled to Orlando, Florida last week to compete in two neutral site matches during the school's spring break. The Mountain Hawks faced the IUPUI Jaguars and the Emporia State Hornets, falling 4-3 to the Jaguars while earning a 7-0 win over the Hornets. Graduate student Matt Kleiman had a perfect week at the number one spot, going 4-0 across two singles and two doubles matches.

NJIT (12-3) has had a fantastic start to their season, having only dropped three dual meets on the season. The Highlanders began the season 11-1 before dropping two of their last three meetings. NJIT holds wins over three Patriot League schools, those being Bucknell (2/3), Navy (3/8) and Army West Point (3/20).

The Mountain Hawks are slated to begin play against the Highlanders at 12 p.m. in Newark on Saturday.
