9/10/2018 2:53:00 PM | Men's Soccer

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Junior goalkeeper Will Smith was named Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week, the league announced Monday. Smith played a crucial role in the Mountain Hawks' 1-0 victory over St. John's last Tuesday, stopping five second half shots amidst a relentless Red Storm offensive attack. The shutout was his second straight. Between starts in net against St. John's and Binghamton, Smith stopped eight of 10 shots that came his way.
 
Before being shut out by Smith and Lehigh, St. John's had averaged two goals per game. Through five starts this season, Smith has a 1.19 goals against average and a .806 save percentage.
 
Following a tough defeat to Binghamton at home on Friday night that snapped a two-game win streak, the Mountain Hawks (2-3) head back on the road to face the Rider Broncs on Tuesday.

Against Binghamton on Friday, the Mountain Hawks took an early 1-0 lead at the 1:47 mark off senior Oscar Greene's one-timer assisted by freshman Josh Luchini. The Bearcats scored two goals in the second half that ended up sealing the deal.
 
Lehigh out-shot Binghamton 17-10, while the Bearcats held a 6-5 edge in corner kicks.
 
Heading into Tuesday's match, senior Mark Forrest remains Lehigh's leading scorer with two goals and five points, leading the way in shots with 16.
 
Sophomore Trevor Koski, Greene, and junior Tommy Dokho are all tied for second in points with two each.
 
The Broncs enter Tuesday 1-2-1, coming off a 1-0 win over La Salle on Saturday. Rider and Lehigh have had a  back-and-forth all-time series. The Mountain Hawks lead the Broncs 16-15-4 all-time.
 
Lehigh defeated Rider at the Ulrich Sports Complex last season in the season opener, 3-2. Forrest scored all three of the Mountain Hawks' goals including a penalty and free kick. Will Smith made two saves.
 
Tuesday's meeting can be streamed live on Rider's BroncVision telecast, kicking off at 7 p.m.
