BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Villanova defeated Lehigh 5-2 on Sunday morning at the Lewis Indoor Tennis Center.<\/p>\n
With the loss, Lehigh slipped to 2-3 on the young season. With the win, Villanova improved to 3-4 overall.<\/p>\n
“I liked how we came out in doubles and took that point, especially the fight from Skye and Audrey at No. 3,” head coach Sophia Geier<\/a> said. “Maggie showed a lot of grit at No. 1 singles and earned a big win. Villanova didn’t give us much in singles, and we weren’t able to turn momentum our way after doubles. We’ll learn from it and get back to work.”<\/p>\n The match began with Lehigh claiming the doubles point with wins on courts two and three. On court two, Lena Dogadalski<\/a> and Giselle Vlassis<\/a> earned a 6-3 victory over Villanova’s Olivia Corcoran and Jenna Stevens. Skye Yonehara<\/a> and Audrey Harrington<\/a> secured the point for the Mountain Hawks with a 7-5 win over Miriam Gondorova and Lauren Monti on court three.<\/p>\n In singles play, Maggie Forkner<\/a> was the lone Mountain Hawk to earn a victory, defeating Olivia Corcoran 6-3, 7-5. Villanova won the remaining singles matches to secure the 5-2 win.<\/p>\n Up Next<\/p>\n Lehigh returns to action next Saturday, traveling to Connecticut to take on Fairfield at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n Results Villanova 5 Lehigh 2<\/p>\n Singles\u00a0
