GLADSTONE, N.J. – The Presidents Cup is headed back to Lehigh for a fifth consecutive year. The Mountain Hawks played rival Lafayette to a 10-10 tie Tuesday at Hamilton Farm Golf Club. Lehigh trailed 5.5-4.5 heading into singles play but went 4-3-3 in singles to get to the 10-point margin needed to retain the cup.
Â
First-year Noah Zyung delivered a key 1 up victory over Winston Kelenc-Blank in the sixth singles match to help Lehigh get to the 10-point mark.
Â
Lehigh began the day by going 4-1 in better ball matches. Sophomores Charles Schrohe and Matt Quinn, seniors Jahan Bains and Aidan Oehrle and juniors Jake Roth and Will Caronchi all teamed for victories, while Zyung teamed with junior Aiden LeBlanc to defeat Travis Robertson and Hudson Pace 2 & 1.
Â
Lafayette battled back in alternate shot play, winning four of the five matches. First-year Luke Block and junior Paulius Malcius halved their match with Michael Bell and Michael DiNapoli to earn half a point.
Â
The Mountain Hawks won two of the first three singles matches with Block defeating Harrison Browne 3 & 2 and Schrohe defeating DiNapoli 1 up.
Â
LeBlanc dominated the last singles match, beating Harry Dessel 7 & 6. Lafayette won two other singles matches while three matches were halved. Zyung's win helped Lehigh claim three total points from the final five singles matches.
Â
The Mountain Hawks will next shift focus to the Patriot League Championship, beginning Friday at the Bucknell Golf Club.
