BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Following sensational seasons, a trio of Lehigh women's lacrosse players have been named All-Patriot League honorees, as announced by the league on Monday. Junior midfielder Sondra Dickey was named to the first team for a second straight season while junior defender Alexandra Ladda and sophomore goalkeeper Samantha Sagi each garnered second-team recognition, the first All-League honors of their careers.
Â
Also named Patriot League Midfielder of the Week on Monday for a third time this season, Dickey has won the weekly award seven times over the last two seasons. She ended the year as the team leader in goals (53), points (67), groundballs (34), caused turnovers (28) and draw controls (78) while adding 14 assists as well. Tremendous all over the field, Dickey scored multiple goals in the final 11 games of the season and 16-of-17 games in 2019. She had five or more points five different times. Dickey caused a career-high five turnovers in the regular-season finale vs. American, a dominant 20-3 Mountain Hawks' victory to send them to their sixth straight Patriot League Tournament. Dickey tied the school record for draw controls with 10 on Mar. 30 vs. Army West Point and went on to record five or more in each of the next five games. She is the only player in the Patriot League standing top five in the league in both points/game (3.94) and caused turnovers/game (1.65). Her 78 draw controls were just eight from tying the school record for a season, while she ended the season with 169 for her career, tying Kayleen Kelly's program record.
Ladda emerged as an anchor of Lehigh's young defense in 2019, finishing third on the team in caused turnovers (16) and draw controls (26) while adding 17 groundballs. She tallied multiple caused turnovers six times and multiple draw controls on eight occasions, serving as one of Lehigh's top cover defenders. Against Army West Point in the regular season, she had two groundballs, two caused turnovers and a career-high tying five draw controls. In the regular-season finale, Ladda had two caused turnovers and shut down American leading scorer Emma Vinall, who entered with more than 50 goals on the season. Vinall finished Friday's game with just a free-position goal.
Sagi has shown herself to be one of the Patriot League's elite goalkeepers, standing second in both save percentage (47.7) and saves per game (9.94), while her 11.99 GAA was top five in the league. Sagi recorded double-figure saves in nine of 17 games on the season, including 12 big stops to keep the Mountain Hawks close in the Patriot League Quarterfinals at Army West Point. She was named Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week on Monday following seven saves, allowing just three goals, in the regular season finale vs. American. Sagi also had a career-high 20 saves in an impressive effort at No. 10 Penn State.
Following Sunday's 12-9 Patriot League Quarterfinal defeat, Lehigh ended its season winning four of its last five games. Standing 0-5 in the Patriot League, the Mountain Hawks fought back to win four straight and qualify for their sixth straight Patriot League Tournament, capped off by a dominant 20-3 win over American on Friday.
