Now the focus is on turning a couple of those close courts in our favor next time.”<\/p>\n The match began with Mount St. Mary’s claiming the doubles point with wins on courts one and three.<\/p>\n Lehigh earned three singles victories on the afternoon. On court one, Maggie Forkner<\/a> defeated Emma Perkins 6-0, 6-2.
