Ota is Lehigh’s second Coach of the Year in women’s lacrosse, joining Jackie Keeley, who earned the honor in 1994. She has led the Brown and White to two postseason appearances in her first three seasons at the helm, which includes 2005 as well as this season. Carmola, who on Wednesday was named a First-Team All-League selection, scored 44 goals during the regular season, and more than one on 12 occasions, including a career-best seven in a league victory over Colgate. Carmola leads the Brown and White in points, goals, shots, game-winning goals and she leads the Patriot League in free-position goals.
In five league games this season, Lehigh has scored double digit goals in a game four times, while in 11 non-league contests, the Mountain Hawks have scored ten or more goals just six times.
With only three seniors and four juniors on its roster, Lehigh relies on quite a few freshmen and sophomores to make plays. 61 percent of the Mountain Hawks goals have been scored by freshmen or sophomores, while 48 percent of the team’s points have been registered by first or second-year players. On defense, both of Lehigh’s goal keepers are freshmen, while sophomores Kyle Roth and Sarah Fudin, along with freshmen Jen Ingalls and Megan Stoner all play major roles within the Lehigh “D”.
Lehigh returns to action on Friday when the Mountain Hawks take on the American Eagles in the semifinals of the 2007 Patriot League Tournament on Friday afternoon in
