4/27/2023 1:23:00 PM | Softball
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Mountain Hawks will take to the road for the final time during the regular season as Lehigh heads to Holy Cross for three games this weekend. Due to the threat of inclement weather, the series schedule has shifted, with Lehigh and Holy Cross now slated to play a single game Friday at 4:30 p.m. and a doubleheader Saturday, currently scheduled for 11 a.m. at Freshman Field in Worcester, Mass. Saturday's doubleheader is tentatively scheduled to be broadcast on ESPN+.
Lehigh moved to 35-10 on the season with a 13-3 win at Saint Joseph's Wednesday, the 900th victory of head coach Fran Troyan's career. Graduate student Carley Barjaktarovich had three hits and sophomore Rory Dudley added two hits and three RBIs, including a solo home run that capped a four-run first inning.
Junior Katelyn Young and first-year Chloe Hess combined to allow three runs on three hits in the pitcher's circle.
The three hits Wednesday moved Barjaktarovich up to .400 on the season as she trails only senior Josie Charles (.434) for tops on the team. Senior Emily Cimino picked up her 40th RBI of the season on Wednesday which leads the team. Cimino's six home runs are tied with first-year Lily Owens for first on the Mountain Hawks.
Hess leads Lehigh with a 1.85 ERA and has taken over the team lead with 102 strikeouts. Young picked up her 17th victory of the season on Wednesday and is right behind Hess with 101 strikeouts.
Lehigh is 12-0 in Patriot League play and the Mountain Hawks are tied with Boston University at the top of the Patriot League standings with two weekends of league play remaining. The Mountain Hawks will host the Terriers May 6-7 to close out the regular season.
Holy Cross enters the weekend series at 15-32-1 overall and 2-13 in Patriot League play. The Crusaders snapped a four-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over Dartmouth in non-league action on Tuesday. Last weekend, Holy Cross dropped three games at home to Bucknell in Patriot League play.
Anna Braid leads Holy Cross at the plate with a .347 batting average, three home runs and 27 RBIs. Megan Yurchick and Sophia Roncone have thrown most of the innings in the circle for the Crusaders.
Lehigh leads the all-time series 97-20 and has won the last 10 games in the series.
Following the Holy Cross series, Lehigh will close out the regular season with three games against Boston University at Leadership Park, May 6-7.
