BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's soccer team will carry a two-game winning streak into an important Patriot League matchup Saturday at first-place Boston University. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. and free video will be available on the Patriot League Network.  
 
The Mountain Hawks are coming off a 2-1 victory of James Madison Tuesday at Ulrich Sports Complex. Freshman Alex Greene scored both of Lehigh's goal, his first in the 43rd minute and then his second goal in the 72nd minute, just a minute after JMU had tied the game. Sophomore keeper Joe Bogan tallied three saves in the victory. The Mountain Hawks earned a 1-0 win over Loyola last Saturday in the Lehigh's most recent league action.
 
Lehigh carries an 8-5-1 overall record and 2-3-0 Patriot League mark into Saturday's matchup at Boston University. The Mountain Hawks are currently in sixth place in the tightly-packed Patriot League standings with six points, but only trail the second-place teams by three points.
 
Senior Jamie Luchini leads the squad offensively with 17 points, which ranks first in the Patriot League, behind six goals and five assists. Greene and fellow freshman Mark Forrest have both tallied five goals this season. Bogan holds an impressive 7-2-1 record in goal to go along with 48 saves, a 0.828 save percentage and 0.88 goals against average.  
 
The Terriers (10-3-1 overall) have yet to be beaten in league play and sit atop the Patriot League standings with a 4-0-1 record and 13 points. Boston University is the last unbeaten team in league play and received votes in the latest national rankings poll. BU defeated Albany 3-0 in its most recent action Tuesday and won a 1-0 overtime thriller at Lafayette in the Terriers' last league game. Boston University owns a 5-1-1 record at home this season.
 
Anthony Viteri anchors the Terriers' attack and has compiled a total of 14 points behind six goals and a pair of assists. As a team, BU leads the conference in assists per game with an average of 1.50. Keeper Matt Gilbert has accumulated a league-best 67 saves to go along with a GAA of 0.77 and a save percentage of 0.859.
 
The Mountain Hawks are in search of their first-ever victory over Boston University. The Terriers own the all-time series 3-0, including a 2-0 victory at Ulrich Sports Complex last season.
 
Lehigh will return home on Wednesday to take on archrival Lafayette. The match will kick off at 7 p.m. from Ulrich Sports Complex.
