BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The Navy men's tennis team has received the second seed for this week's Patriot League Tournament, the league office announced today.  Top-seeded Lehigh is playing host to the tournament which runs Thursday through Sunday.

Navy and Lehigh each compiled a league-best 6-1 record this season, but the Mountain Hawks defeated the Mids, 4-3, when the teams met on March 28 in Bethlehem, Pa.

The Mids will open tournament play Friday with a 3 p.m. quarterfinal round match against seventh-seeded Colgate.  The Mids defeated the Raiders by the score of 7-0 on April 12 in Annapolis.  The winner of that match advances to Saturday's semifinal round where it will face the winner of No. 3 Army and No. 6 Loyola.
