Lehigh was looking to snap a four game losing streak, and the Mountain Hawks started out strong. Sophomore Kara Zweizig found the back of the cage 2:36 into the contest off a feed from junior Terry Mongan. The goal is Zweizig’s team-leading fourth of the season.
The tie was broken two and a half minutes before the half when the Smith sisters combined to put the Mountain Hawks on top. Freshman Lindsey centered a pass from the right side, which junior Christy was able to deflect home for her third goal of the season.
