BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh men's tennis welcomed the Wagner Seahawks to the Ulrich Varsity Tennis Courts on Tuesday afternoon for a midweek non-league matchup. The Mountain Hawks took care of business in a 4-0 decision over the Seahawks.
Lehigh (9-8, 2-1 PL) kicked off doubles play with a 6-2 win from Sean Jaeger and Jackson Morash at number two. However, Wagner (1-19) responded with a 6-3 win at the number three spot to set up a point-clinching first doubles match. Matt Kleiman and Marc Blekhman came through with a 6-4 win to claim the first point of the match.
Following the doubles point clinch, the Mountain Hawks were immediately awarded two singles points, as the Seahawks forfeited at number five and number six. With only four singles matches playing, Lehigh now just needed one more point to clinch the dual meet victory. They found that point courtesy of a 6-0, 6-0 win from Sean Jaeger at number three to seal the win.
The Mountain Hawks will travel to the northeast this upcoming weekend to play three Patriot League contests. Lehigh will face Holy Cross on Friday, Army West Point on Saturday and Boston U. on Sunday.
