Two of those shots found the back of the cage, the tying goal at the 68:06 mark and the winner 9:17 into overtime. Sophomore Amanda Boyer scored the Mountain Hawks' goal at the 25:53 mark. Freshman Emma Gromacki was strong on Sunday, making six saves, including a big overtime stop.

Marcia LaPlante has played every minute between the pipes, recording a 3.43 goals against average and 0.742 save percentage.
Â
Last season, the Mountain Hawks picked up a big 1-0 win over Holy Cross behind a goal from Marissa Glatt. Overall, Lehigh has won three straight against the Crusaders to pull within 17-11 in the all-time series.
