HAMILTON, N.Y. – Lehigh volleyball played the second half of a back-to-back on Saturday afternoon from Cotterell Court against the defending Patriot League champion Colgate Raiders. The Mountain Hawks fell in three sets on the road to the Raiders to conclude their weekend away from home.

Both Lehigh (14-11, 7-8 PL) and Colgate (16-10, 13-2 PL) opened the match with strong offensive performances, as the Mountain Hawks and Raiders hit .296 and .360 respectively in set one. The set went back and forth until a 3-0 Raiders swing gave them a four-point advantage. The Mountain Hawks were unable to close the gap to less than two the rest of the way, and Colgate picked up a 25-19 set one win.

Colgate earned the win once again in set two, this time to the tune of a 25-18 score. Lehigh's offense slowed down its efficiency, only hitting .088 in the period. The Mountain Hawks would hold an early lead at 10-8, but a 15-5 Raider swing put Colgate firmly in control the rest of the way.

With the momentum fully on their side, Colgate was excellent both on offense and defense in set three. The Raiders recorded a hitting percentage of .433 and held the Mountain Hawks to a .074 mark, allowing them to win the third set 25-16 and secure their 13th league win of the season.

Sophomore Alysia Fingall led the Mountain Hawks in kills for the fourth-consecutive match, this time putting up eight. Senior Makena Smith tallied a team-high 18 assists while senior Kyleigh Brown's eight digs paced Lehigh defensively.

The Mountain Hawks will play their final regular season home match of the season on Wednesday, November 13 against Binghamton. The team will be celebrating Pride Day, presented by Lehigh's Pride Center and Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity at 7 p.m. at Grace Hall.
