BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Graduate student Ryelle Shuey was named Defensive Player of the Week, announced by the league office on Monday afternoon. This is Shuey's third time earning the honor this season.
Â
The Schaefferstown, Pa. native played a critical role in Lehigh's 1-0 win over Loyola on Saturday. Shuey held the Patriot League's leading scorer Baylee DeSmit scoreless and limited her to four shots with two on target.Â
Â
In the 86th minute, Shuey scored the game-winner with a header off a free-kick from senior Emma Roesing. The graduate student now has four goals on the year.
Â
Saturday's win propelled the Mountain Hawks to a Patriot League Tournament berth, with Wednesday's games determining final standings.
Â
First-year goalkeeper R'Reeyah Mabry-Francis was named an honorable mention following her collegiate debut in the final 21:32, making two saves and preserving the shutout.
Â
The Mountain Hawks (7-4-4, 4-3-1 PL) welcome Bucknell on Wednesday at 7 p.m. for the final regular season contest at Ulrich Sports Complex. Wednesday's results from across the league will determine placement heading into the Patriot League Tournament. Lehigh clinched a berth with the win over Loyola and can secure a home game in the tournament with a win over the Bison.Â
Â
The Bison (10-3-4, 4-1-3 PL) sit in second place in the league behind Army. Bucknell leads the all-time series 18-13-5, tying Lehigh 1-1 last season. Senior Ava Schaller scored the lone goal for the Mountain Hawks. Bucknell's Teresa Deda currently leads the offense with seven goals and seven assists.
Â
The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
