In baseball, the Mountain Hawks concluded their series against Holy Cross with a commanding 14-2 victory on April 26, aided by an eight-run fourth inning. Jake Mulvehill pitched a complete game, striking out ten batters. However, the team faced challenges earlier in the series, losing both games of a doubleheader on April 25, which eliminated them from postseason contention. They now hold a 14-28 overall record.

Lehigh softball enjoyed success at the Scarlet Knight Classic on April 26, winning both games against Georgetown and improving their season record to 24-26. Lizzie Kern homered in both games, while Kelly Fricker's two-run shot in the sixth inning against Georgetown helped secure an 8-6 victory.

The men's golf team finished sixth at the Patriot League Championship, which concluded on April 26. First-year Ryan Cronin led the Mountain Hawks, tying for third place overall and earning a spot on the All-Tournament team with a score of 215. Cronin's performance included a strong final round, where he shot a 75. The team shot a total of 888 over the three rounds, with senior Will Caronchi finishing tied for 14th.

In track and field, the women's team had a standout weekend, setting a school record in the distance medley relay at the Penn Relays. The quartet of Lauryn Heskin, Lauren Bower, Amber Barrios, and Abby Klebe finished in 11:09.39, breaking the previous record by nearly 16 seconds.
