BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh women's golf team bounced back from a rough morning to shoot 321 in the afternoon Saturday on day one of the Patriot League Championship on the Grace Course at Saucon Valley Country Club. The Mountain Hawks have some work to do in Sunday's final round as Lehigh sits in fifth place out of six teams with a score of 665 (344-321).
Sophomore Hannah Foster is the low Mountain Hawk after 36 holes as she sits in 15th place at 163 (83-80). Foster was two under through her first six holes in the morning but finished with an 83. She did three strokes better in the afternoon.
