Lehigh junior Troy List has been named the Patriot League’s Men’s Tennis Player of the Month for February, the league announced on Thursday. List, in his second season as Lehigh’s top singles and doubles performer, has been the most consistent and successful player for the Mountain Hawks in the early season with a 6-3 record at No. 1 singles and a 5-3 mark at No. 1 doubles. This marks the second career Player of the Month award for List, who was also recognized in February 2009.

With Lehigh and Army set to kick off the Patriot League men’s tennis season against one another on Saturday, the league announced its preseason poll on Friday. The Mountain Hawks garnered 39 points, good for fifth in the poll which is voted on by the league’s coaches and sports information directors. Lehigh finished fifth in the regular season standings last year before falling to Bucknell in the opening round of the Patriot League tournament.

The latest in a February filled with winter storms has once again impacted travel and has forced the postponement of Saturday’s Lehigh-Army men’s tennis match. The Mountain Hawks and Black Knights were scheduled to open Patriot League play against one another, but the snow and strong winds have made it impossible for the match to be played on Saturday. Instead, the match has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 23 at 3 p.m. at the Lewis Tennis Center.

The Lehigh men’s tennis team will open up Patriot League play on Saturday when the Mountain Hawks welcome the Black Knights of Army to the Lewis Tennis Center. The Mountain Hawks and Black Knights will kick off the Patriot League tennis season before Lehigh embarks on a month-long hiatus from competition.

It came down to the sixth match point in the No. 6 singles match, but freshman Andrew Krentz held off Jegonathan Srinivasan of Drexel to lead Lehigh to a come-from-behind 4-3 win over Drexel Sunday at the Lewis Tennis Center. The Mountain Hawks trailed 3-2 before sophomore Ryan Krueger and Krentz provided wins at the bottom two singles flights to give Lehigh the win as the Mountain Hawks improve to 5-4 on the season.
