BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Coming off a 15-8 victory over Bucknell on Wednesday, the Lehigh women's lacrosse team looks to carry momentum into Saturday's noon matchup at Army.
Â
In the surge over the Bison, Lehigh was led by a six-goal effort by senior Olivia Memeger while graduate student Emma Eberhardt contributed five goals. Defensively, first-year Brynn Freeman had a solid performance, holding Bucknell's top scorer in Allie Boyce to one goal and one assist. Freeman posted a team-high in both ground balls and caused turnovers with six and five, respectively.Â
Â
Army is 4-6 overall and 2-1 in league play, dropping a tight 14-13 contest to then No. 5 Loyola. Following the loss, Army bounced back with wins over Lafayette (17-4) and Boston University (17-7). The Black Knights were selected to finish second in the league standings this season, led by Patriot League Midfielder of the Year Brigid Duffy.Â
Â
Duffy leads Army offensively with 37 goals and 16 assists, while Allison Reilly tallied 31 goals and 21 assists.Â
Â
Lehigh leads the all-time series 5-4, most recently falling by a slim 15-14 margin last season. Memeger tallied three goals and one assist and graduate student Cassie Marte added a hat trick.
