Colgate ran out to a 7-0 lead in the first half, and Lehigh was never able to fully recover. Brendan Hurley scored twice in helping the Raiders to a healthy halftime advantage. Lehigh goalkeeper Tom Ellis recorded seven saves over the first 30 minutes.
In the second half, head coach Chris Wakely went to freshman Dusty Granet between the pipes, and he didn’t disappoint. Granet turned away all ten shots he faced in the second half.
Meanwhile, the Lehigh offense began to click as the Mountain Hawks made their push. Freshman Steve Marino found the back of the net twice, while David Gaunt, Blake Best, and Greg Morin all added scores as the Mountain Hawks drew within two. Morin also added an assist in the comeback push.
In the end, though, time ran out and the comeback attempt just came up short for Lehigh. The Mountain Hawks were out-shot 33-30 for the game, and Colgate came away with 35 ground balls, compared to 29 for the Brown & White.
