BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Coming off a slim overtime loss to Bryant Monday, the Lehigh women's lacrosse team looks to improve to 2-0 in Patriot League play when it travels to Colgate to face the Raiders. Opening draw on Saturday is set for 1 p.m. The Mountain Hawks won their league opener last Saturday, 10-4 over Bucknell.
Down 10-7 midway through the second half against Bryant, the Mountain Hawks came back to score five of the next six goals to take a 12-11 lead following junior Carli Sukonik's second straight goal with 1:55 on the clock. However, Bryant evened the score with less than a minute remaining and scored the only goal of overtime to hand the Mountain Hawks a tough loss.
Senior Chelsea Retaleato led the Lehigh offense with a career-high four goals. She had her second-career hat trick just 12:19 into the game before adding her fourth goal in the second half. Freshman Allison LaBeau had a big day with two goals and three assists and Sukonik added a hat trick, all in the final 12:25 of regulation.
Freshman Julianne D'Orazio continued her strong play, posting four draw controls and two caused turnovers. Sophomore Nicole Isdaner also had four draw controls while freshman Lauren Beausoleil scooped a team-high three groundballs. Senior goals Alexandra Fitzpatrick enjoyed her second straight outstanding game, making 14 saves. She now has 31 saves over her last two games, allowing just 17 goals.
Colgate enters with a 1-5 record and 0-1 mark in Patriot League play. The Raiders have some tough losses, including to Vermont (14-11), Hofstra (10-8), Canisius (12-11) and Holy Cross (10-9). Megan Ark leads the offense with 21 goals and 26 points. Kallan Murray has 13 points (five goals, eight assists) and Alison Flood nine (seven goals, two assists). Jennie Berglin leads the team in groundballs (19) while Sarah Bowles owns a team-leading 19 draw controls and Jenna Frost has 11 caused turnovers to lead the way. Berglin has played every minute in goal, owning an 11.83 GAA and 42.7 save percentage.
The Raiders lead the all-time series, 21-11 including wins in each of the past three seasons. Colgate won a 10-9 overtime game a season ago. The Mountain Hawks had won two straight and three of the previous five. The sides first met in 1981, a 6-5 Lehigh victory. Lehigh won eight of the first 13 meetings before Colgate responded with a 10-game winning streak from 1998-2006.
The Mountain Hawks will return to action against Lafayette next Wednesday (Mar. 19) at 7 p.m.
