Men’s and women’s tennis teams travel Lehigh

The men’s tennis team will travel to Lehigh Sunday to face the Mountain Hawks at 10 a.m.

The Owls (2-5, 1-1 Atlantic 10 Conference) are on a five-match slide. The Mountain Hawks (7-1, 0-0 Patriot League) are on a six-match winning streak.

Lehigh’s player to watch is sophomore Ben Gilman. He is 6-2 on the season, with a 5-1 record in the top flight. He will be a tough matchup for the injured Kacper Rams, who hasn’t won a singles match this spring.

Lehigh’s top doubles team, junior Mark Goldberg and sophomore Mitchell Petersen, is 4-4 this year. They will likely face Rams and freshman Santiago Canete, who have lost their last two matches.

The women’s tennis team will also travel to Lehigh Sunday to face the Mountain Hawks. That match will commence at 2 p.m.

The Owls (2-7, 1-2 Atlantic 10 Conference) are looking to build a winning streak after defeating St. Bonaventure last weekend. The Mountain Hawks (2-6, 0-0 Patriot League) are coming off a 6-1 loss to Towson on Saturday.

Lehigh has been swept in four of its losses (at Penn, Rutgers, Delaware and Stony Brook).

The Lehigh doubles team of junior Jenai Bilimoria and sophomore Abby Farrell is 4-4 on the season. They are currently on a three-match win streak. They will likely face one of two Temple duos: juniors Jordan Batey and Alicia Doms (3-1), or junior Yana Mavrina and sophomore Rebecca Breland (3-1).
