BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Winners of two straight games, the Lehigh women's lacrosse team returns to the Ulrich Sports Complex on Saturday to host Saint Francis (Pa.). Opening draw is set for noon with broadcast coverage on ESPN+. The game will be Lehigh's last at home for the next month as the Mountain Hawks will play their next four games away from Bethlehem.
Lehigh improved to 2-1 on the season with a 17-1 dismantling of Wofford last Saturday in South Carolina. The Mountain Hawks led 10-0 at halftime and went on to post their largest margin of victory since a 20-3 victory over American in April 2019. Junior Olivia Memeger led the offense with six points behind four goals and two assists, while seniors Gabby Schneider (1 goal, 4 assists) and Emma Eberhardt (4 goals, 1 assist) both contributed five points.
Memeger was recognized as the Patriot League Attacker of the Week on Monday, marking the second straight week a Lehigh player has won the award. Senior Katia Carnevale won the season's first award after scoring five goals in the season opener at Delaware.
Senior Cassie Marte made big contributions in the midfield with four draw controls, three caused turnovers and two groundballs, to go along with a free position goal.
In goal, junior Hayley Hunt made seven saves in a first-half shutout before giving way to Julia DeLitta and Maggie Roberts.
Offensively, Memeger leads the Mountain Hawks with 15 points (10 goals, 5 assists). Carnevale has a team-best 11 goals, while Schneider leads with six assists. Marte and sophomore Lauren Warfield are tied for the team lead with six caused turnover and Marte has a team-best 15 draw controls.
Hunt owns an 8.73 goals against average and has made 27 saves, including 15 in an overtime win over Saint Joseph's on Feb. 15.
Saint Francis defeated Longwood 16-6 in its season opener on Wednesday. The Red Flash were 5-11 in 2022. Autumn McHenry led the way for SFU with four goals and two assists for six points. McHenry was Saint Francis' leading scorer last season with 60 points on 41 goals and 19 assists. Graduate student Elyssa Enrique returns as the Red Flash goalkeeper.
Saturday's game will mark the third meeting between Lehigh and Saint Francis. The Mountain Hawks won the previous two meetings, 23-3 in 2008 and 19-4 in 2019.
Following Saturday's game Lehigh will hit the road to face La Salle Wednesday at 3 p.m.
