Coach Addie Macir on the win
The Raiders started fast, jumping out to a 13-4 lead in the first quarter, but Lehigh responded by opening the second quarter on an 8-0 run that included layups from Myrto Lianoudi, Belle Bramer and Lily Fandre. Despite the Mountain Hawks' surge, Colgate held a one-point lead at halftime.
The Mountain Hawks came out of the locker room on fire, opening the second half by going 6-for-6 from the field, largely due to Lovette.
