Lehigh Wins Second Game In A Row With 10-8 Win Over Old Dominion
3/2/2024 5:49:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Led by a six-goal effort by graduate student Emma Eberhardt, the Lehigh women's lacrosse team extended its win streak to two with a 10-8 win over Old Dominion on a rainy Saturday afternoon at the Ulrich Sports Complex.
Â
Eberhardt tallied seven points, adding an assist to her career high-tying single game scoring mark. Senior Olivia Memeger contributed two goals and two assists on the afternoon.
Â
The Monarchs jumped out on a 3-1 lead with 6:30 remaining in the first quarter. Lehigh came back with a two-goal run by Eberhardt sending the teams into the second quarter knotted up at 3-3. Coming off her Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors, first-year Molly Snow contributed assists on both of Eberhardt's goals.
Â
Early into the second quarter, first-year Grace Martel scored off an assist from Snow to give the Mountain Hawks a 4-3 lead. Old Dominion responded with two goals of its own before Eberhardt completed her hat trick, sending the teams to the intermission with the Monarchs holding a 6-5 advantage.
Â
Memeger kicked off the second half with a goal, tying the game at 6-6 with 11:58 remaining in the third. Old Dominion picked up the lead with a goal at 10:41 before Martel netted her second of the contest to tie it up at 7-7. With 33 seconds remaining in the third, Eberhardt gave Lehigh an 8-7 advantage heading into the final quarter.
Â
The first goal of the fourth quarter came from Old Dominion, tying it up at 8-8 with just over 11 minutes to play. Lehigh regained the lead at 9:41 with Eberhardt's fifth goal of the game, before the graduate student scored a free-position shot as the Mountain Hawks held on to secure the 10-8 win.Â
Â
Senior goalkeeper Hayley Hunt played all 60 minutes in net, recording eight saves and two ground balls. Her Old Dominion counterpart, Jenna Peccia made 17 saves on the afternoon.
Â
Graduate student Cassie Marte earned 11 draw controls, leaving her just 21 off the school record for career draw controls. First-year Brynn Freeman was a force defensively, picking up two ground balls and causing three turnovers while helping Lehigh successfully clear the ball.
Â
The Monarchs were led by Taylor Siskind with a hat trick and one assist.Â
Â
Lehigh (3-1) continues its homestand next Saturday, playing host to American in the Patriot League opener slated for noon.
