BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Having lost its first three Patriot League contests, the last two against nationally-ranked opponents, the Lehigh women's lacrosse team will look to get back on trip when it hosts Army West Point on Saturday. Opening draw is set for 6 p.m. on the Patriot League Network. The Mountain Hawks are 4-6 on the season, 0-3 in league play with all three defeats coming against the only three remaining undefeated teams in the Patriot League; Boston University, Loyola and Navy are tied for first in the standings at 3-0.
On Wednesday, the Mountain Hawks dropped a tough 23-6 final to Navy, but for long stretches, they hung tough. After going down 5-0, Lehigh scored five of the next eight goals, including a stretch of three in a row to pull within 8-5 with 4:09 left in the first half. The final goal was scored by junior Sondra Dickey, who found a way to score twice despite being face guarded for much of the game. However from there, Navy broke the game open, scoring four times in the final 52 seconds of the stanza to take back momentum and go up 13-5 at the half.
Along with Dickey's two goals, freshman Maggie Kelly tallied a goal and assist for her first-career multi-point game. Senior Courtney Henig had a goal and assist as well. Freshman Emma McGillis led the defense with two caused turnovers. Sophomore goalkeeper Samantha Sagi was strong in the first half, making seven first-half stops.
The Mountain Hawks will face Army West Point on Saturday, who owns an impressive 8-3 mark, 1-2 in Patriot League play. Currently in their fourth season of Division I lacrosse, the Black Knights won their first seven games of the season before their first loss vs. Villanova. In league play, Army lost at home to Loyola (21-7) and at American (12-10) before defeating Holy Cross at home (19-13). Jackie Brattan leads the offense with 34 points (all goals) while Caroline Raymond has 32 points via 17 goals and a team-leading 15 assists. Samantha Stewart has 31 points (22 goals, nine assists) and a team-leading 23 groundballs. Brattan has a team-leading 60 draw controls while Lauren Bredenburg owns a team-leading 13 caused turnovers. Maddie Burns has started 10-of-11 games in goal with a 10.13 goals against average and 0.454 save percentage.
Lehigh is 3-0 all-time vs. Army, winning 14-6 in 2016, 15-8 in 2017 and 15-8 in 2018. Dickey led the offense with five goals and seven points in last season's victory.
Following Saturday's game, the Mountain Hawks return to action next Saturday (Apr. 6) at Colgate. Gametime is set for 12 p.m.
