Raiders Fall to Mountain Hawks
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Colgate took the doubles point against Lehigh, but the Mountain Hawks rallied to take five of the six singles matches and claim a 5-2 victory in both squads' Patriot League opener.
Colgate jumped on Lehigh in the doubles point, winning lines two and three to take the lead in the overall match.
Junior Aidan Chung and first-year Tim Viding started action off with a 6-2 win at line two. Sophomores Parker McGowan and Jerome Falcon clinched the point with a 6-3 victory at line three.
Singles action began with a victory at line six for Falcon, who won 6-3, 6-1 and asserted a 2-0 Colgate lead. Unfortunately, that was all the wins the Raiders would get as the Mountain Hawks took the remaining five singles matches.
Senior captain Benito Vlassis fell 6-4, 7-5 at line one, Chung lost 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 at line four, and Viding was defeated 6-2, 2-6, 4-6 at line five in a heartbreaking clincher for the visitors. Senior captain Josh Israel and junior Aidan Lee also lost at lines two and three, respectively.
The Raiders return to action on Friday at 7 p.m. against Wagner at Drumlins Country Club.
