Hamilton, NY – Freshman goalie Tom Ellis recorded a season-high 19 saves, and senior Tony Lowe scored five goals and added an assist, but Colgate hung on for an 11-9 win over Lehigh at Tyler’s Field on Saturday afternoon. In a game that was close throughout, each team scored at least twice in all four quarters. The Mountain Hawks (5-7 overall, 2-2 Patriot League) trailed 2-0 halfway through the first quarter before the Lehigh offense responded. Seniors Mike Rabinovitz and Tony Lowe each fund the back of the net, as the match was tied 2-2. Lehigh trailed the Raiders by a 5-4 score at the half. On the afternoon, Colgate (6-6, 3-3) peppered Lehigh goalie Tom Ellis with 42 shots, but Ellis was up to the challenge. He made at least four saves in each quarter. The Lehigh man-down defense did a solid job once again: Colgate was 0-for-4 on extra-man opportunities. Offensively, Lehigh had 26 shots, and was 0-for-3 on extra-man opportunities. Mike Rabinovitz added two goals, and David Cohen dished out four helpers in the defeat. The Mountain Hawks return to the field on Saturday, when Lehigh visits Bucknell in a Patriot League match scheduled for 1:00 in Lewisburg. Score
