BOSTON - Led by three student-athletes with four goals apiece, the Lehigh women's lacrosse team picked up a 14-8 league win over Boston University on Saturday afternoon.
Â
Graduate student Gabby Schneider and senior Olivia Memeger both tallied six points on the afternoon, both off four goals and two assists. Graduate student Emma Eberhardt chipped in four goals.
Â
Memeger surpassed the 100 career goals mark with the first of the game, putting Lehigh up 1-0 on a free position shot. The opening goal spurred a 5-0 run for Lehigh, as Memeger and Eberhardt each tallied two and Schneider contributed one goal.
Â
Boston University responded with two goals before Schneider capped off the quarter with another goal as the Mountain Hawks led 6-2 after the opening quarter.
Â
Memeger opened second-quarter scoring, followed by a goal from graduate student Cassie Marte off an assist from first-year Molly Snow giving Lehigh an 8-2 lead 11:50 remaining in the half. The Terriers responded with a goal just over two minutes later before Lehigh closed out the half with a 3-0 run as Eberhardt, Schneider and Memeger sent the Mountain Hawks into intermission leading 11-3.
Â
The Terriers opened the second half with two quick goals, decreasing the Lehigh lead to 11-5 with 12:02 remaining in the third quarter.
Â
At 8:48 in the third, sophomore Emmie Ridgeway scored her first goal as a Mountain Hawk off a free position shot as Lehigh held a 12-5 advantage.
Â
The teams traded goals with Eberhardt securing a four-goal performance, sending Lehigh into the final quarter up 13-6.Â
Â
Boston University scored a pair of goals to open the final quarter, but a fourth goal from Schneider sealed the deal as Lehigh held on to win 14-8.
Â
Senior goalkeeper Hayley Hunt tallied 16 saves and one ground ball before junior Julia DeLitta relieved her for the final four minutes.
Â
Lehigh (7-4, 3-2 PL) returns home to the Ulrich Sports Complex at noon next Saturday to host Holy Cross for Senior Day and Alumnae Day.
