EASTON, Pa. - The Lafayette women's tennis team split singles competition with Lehigh on Monday afternoon at Sullivan Courts, but Lehigh swept the doubles point en route to a 4-3 victory.

With the loss, Lafayette wraps up the regular season at 4-6. Seedings and schedule for this weekend's Patriot League Tournament will be announced later this week.

Due to threat of rain, the singles matches were played first. Allie Seranko (No. 1 singles) and Lucy Bass (No. 6) got straight set wins for the Leopards, while Caitlin Gordon took a three-set victory at No. 2 singles.

With the match coming down to the doubles point, Lehigh took a quick lead with an 8-0 sweep at No. 1 doubles. No. 3 doubles proved to be decisive as the Mountain Hawks took an 8-5 win to clinch the match.
