BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Winners of its last three games, the Lehigh women's lacrosse team will take to the road for its next four games, beginning Wednesday with a trip to Philadelphia to face La Salle at McCarthy Stadium. Opening draw is set for 3 p.m. with coverage on ESPN+.
The Mountain Hawks are coming off a dominant 15-5 victory over Saint Francis (Pa.) Saturday at the Ulrich Sports Complex. Senior Gabby Schneider tied a career high with six goals and teamed with classmates Emma Eberhardt and Katia Carnevale and junior Olivia Memeger to produce 13 of Lehigh's 15 goals.
Lehigh scored nine of the game's first 10 goals and never looked back to improve their record to 3-1 on the season. Schneider and Eberhardt earned honorable mention recognition from the Patriot League on Monday.
Sophomore Julia DiConza led the defensive effort with two caused turnovers, while limiting Saint Francis' top scorer Autumn McHenry to just two goals. As a team, Lehigh has allowed just six goals over its last two games.
In the midfield, Eberhardt had a game-high six draw controls, while senior Cassie Marte had a goal, four draw controls and two groundballs.
Lehigh's four attackers all have double-digit goals and points through four games in 2023. Carnevale has the most goals with 13, while Memeger and Schneider both have a team-leading eight assists. Memeger leads with 20 overall points.
Marte and Eberhardt have 19 and 12 draw controls, respectively, to lead the Mountain Hawks.
La Salle is still looking for its first win of 2023. The Explorers are 0-3 with losses to Iona (11-8), Penn (21-1) and last Wednesday Villanova (16-7). La Salle was 5-12 in 2022.
Maddie Henderson leads the Explorers with four goals, five points and four caused turnovers and is second on La Salle with eight draw controls.
Julia Dellaratta has played all but 15 minutes for La Salle in goal so far this season.
Lehigh leads the all-time series versus La Salle 8-4 and has won five straight meetings, including a 13-5 victory last year at the Ulrich Sports Complex. Schneider led the way with five goals and seven points in the win.
Following Wednesday's game, Lehigh will visit Wagner Saturday at noon.
