BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Colgate men's tennis team took host Lehigh to the limit Sunday afternoon but ultimately fell to the Mountain Hawks 6-1 at the Lewis Indoor Tennis Center. 

The Raiders claimed the doubles point behind wins at No. 1 and No. 2. 

Lehigh responded by sweeping the singles matches, though Colgate's Jack Selati, Benito Vlassis and Nate Romig gave their opponents all they could handle in tough three setters at No. 1, No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.

Head Coach Bobby Pennington

"Brutal finish for the men after playing outstanding doubles and winning the point. We had three guys lose in three sets and those matches literally down to points. We have to bounce back quickly for Bucknell Friday."
