The Mountain Hawks got on the board in the 23rd minute as Gina Lewandowski’s headed Jocelyn Helwig’s pass into the top left corner of the net, and Lehigh took a 1-0 lead into halftime.
The Midshipmen would tie the game early in the second half as Lauren Griebel headed in the equalizer off a corner kick. Lehigh would regain the lead in the 53rd minute as Lewandowski tallied her second goal of the game and ninth of the season. The lead stood for another 20 minutes, before Navy rallied to score three times in the game’s final 20 minutes. Maggie Curran tied the game in the 73rd minute and then scored the game winner nine minutes later. Carmen Myers would provide an insurance goal in the 84th minute.
“It’s a tough loss for our girls,” said coach Manny Oudin. “Even when they got their third goal, we thought we were still in it but the fourth one was scored right after.”
Navy out shot Lehigh 18-7. Erin Iwaskiewicz made three saves for the Mountain Hawks, who coming into this game were 2-0 in the Patriot League for the first time in team history.
