Â
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Following a dominant win at Boston University, Lehigh women's lacrosse sophomore Sondra Dickey and senior Alexis King have earned Patriot League weekly awards, as announced on Monday. Dickey finished Saturday's league opener with a career-high seven points (three goals, four assists) while King recorded team highs in groundballs (5) and caused turnovers (2) to help the Lehigh defense allow just one first-half goal, on the way to the 15-8 victory.
Â
Dickey's four assists marked a career high while she scored three goals, good for her seventh hat trick in nine games this season and eighth multi-goal game of the year. Dickey made an impact at both ends of the field, tying for a team-high five draw controls while adding a groundball. She finished with one goal and three assists in the first half and two goals and an assist in the second. Dickey stands second on the Mountain Hawks with 35 points this season while her 25 goals lead the team. She also leads the team with 41 draw controls, already within six of tying the Lehigh single-season school record. Dickey also has 21 groundballs and 11 caused turnovers this year, both among the best on the team.
Â
King helped lead a stellar Lehigh defensive effort Saturday as the Mountain Hawks allowed just one first-half goal to Boston University, the Terriers' fewest goals in a half since Mar. 8, 2017 at USC (Southern Cal). In the end, the Mountain Hawks allowed just eight goals, Boston University's fewest vs. a Patriot League team since the 2016 league semifinals against Navy (10-7 loss). It was the Terriers' fewest in a Patriot League regular season game since the 2016 regular season at Navy (12-6 defeat). For the season, King leads the team in groundballs (27) and caused turnovers (13).
Â
In the end, Saturday's seven-goal margin (15-8 final) marked Boston University's largest-ever Patriot League regular-season defeat. The only other time they lost by greater to a league opponent came in the Patriot League Tournament. The Mountain Hawks have now won four straight games overall and stand 6-3 on the season, 1-0 in league play.
Â
The Mountain Hawks return to action on Saturday when they host Loyola at 12 p.m.
