Kevin McGee has 5 goal night as Lehigh wins overtime thriller

Lehigh sophomore Kevin McGee could not be stopped as the Mountain Hawks visited Indiana Pa Saturday to face off against the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. McGee exploded for five goals on the night, putting a huge exclamation point on the Lehigh win. It was a back and forth affair for most of the night, with both teams trading goals for the first two periods. IUP squandered a 6-3 lead however in the third period, with Sophomore Chris Ramondelli scoring two goals and shaving the IUP lead to 6-5. Lehigh pulled goaltender Patrick Walgren with under a minute left in the final period of regulation to give the Mountain Hawks the extra attacker. With 19 seconds left in the period, Lehigh penetrated the IUP zone and McGee was able to get one past Crimson Hawk's goalie Austin Moody to send the game into overtime. It was 2:09 into the extra period that McGee fired his 5th goal of the night into the net, giving Lehigh the win.

Game notes:

-The win over IUP improves Lehigh's record on the road to 4-3.

-Kevin McGee's 5 goals and 1 assist now give him 26 points (11 goals 15 assists) on the season.
