BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's soccer team will enter the second half of its four-game home stand when the Mountain Hawks host St. John's on Tuesday, in a matchup of two teams looking to extend their win streak to five games. Kickoff at the Ulrich Sports Complex is set for 7 p.m. The game will be streamed live for free on the Patriot League Network.
Â
The Lehigh Mountain Hawks (5-2-0) are fresh off their fourth-straight victory after opening up Patriot League play with a 1-0 win against Army West Point on Saturday. Junior forward Mark Forrest netted the game's only tally when he scored in the 10th minute and Lehigh's defense took care of the rest, shutting out Army, the league's second-best scoring offense. Sophomore goalkeeper Will Smith tied his career-high in saves with eight and notched his second shutout of the season. The Devon, Pa. native has only surrendered one goal in the past three games.
Â
For their efforts last week against Army and Seton Hall, Forrest and Smith garnered Patriot League weekly honors. For the second-straight week, Smith was named the Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week. In addition to his game-winning goal against Army, Forrest tallied two assists in Lehigh's 3-1 victory over Seton Hall to earn himself Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week honors. These are the fourth and fifth weekly awards for the Mountain Hawks so far this season with Smith owning two of them. Earlier this season, senior Doyle Tuvesson won Offensive Player of the Week and freshman Bratislav Petkovic won Rookie of the Week.
Â
St. John's (5-2-1) enters Tuesday winners of its last four and unbeaten in its last five games. The Red Storm is fresh off an upset of No. 19 Xavier at home on Saturday. St. John's is off to its best start in conference play since 2007 after its dominant 3-0 win over the Musketeers. Alistair Johnston leads the offensive attack with nine points on the year on a team-high four goals to go along with an assist. In goal, Andrew Withers has started all eight games, tallying 26 saves and 0.36 GAA.
Â
This is the first matchup between these two teams since 1931. The Mountain Hawks are 3-0 all-time against St. John's with the first victory coming in 1929.
Â
Following St. John's, Lehigh will resume Patriot League play with a matchup against Boston U on Saturday. Kickoff from Ulrich Sports Complex is set for 6 p.m.
