The Mountain Hawks came out of halftime on fire, scoring four of the first five goals of the stanza – all within the first 4:21 – to open an 8-6 lead after a Pino goal. Less than two minutes prior, Giordano finished a highlight-reel backhand goal to give Lehigh its first lead at 6-5.What a response. Mountain Hawks fall behind 5-0 early, but score the final four goals of the first half - capped off by this one from Emma - to pull within 5-4 at the half at Colgate.

Eberhardt scored her third of the day less than a minute into the fourth quarter to put Lehigh up 9-7 with 14:12 remaining. From that point forward, though, Colgate took control. The Raiders scored twice within a minute – at 7:10 and 6:13 – to pull even at nine. They then netted the game-winner with 5:08 remaining, which proved to be the game-winner.All in one motion. The catch and backhand finish by Nora Giordano today was one for the highlight reels 😱#SCTop10 #PLTop3 @ESPNAssignDesk @USALacrosseMag @ILWomen pic.twitter.com/kaDjeTZR4I
