WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Lehigh softball team dug itself into early holes in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader at Army West Point. The Mountain Hawks were held to one hit in dropping game one 6-0 at the Army Softball Complex. Lehigh again fell behind 6-0 early in game two and battled back in the later innings, ultimately coming up a run short at 6-5.

Junior Holly Lovett went 3-for-5 at the plate and drew two walks, while sophomores Lizzie Kern and Kelly Fricker both drove in two runs in the nightcap.

Lehigh falls to 21-20 overall and 3-8 in Patriot League play. Army improves to 21-20 overall and 5-3 in the league.

In game one, the Black Knights scored two runs in the first inning and three more in the second to go up 5-0. Army added a sixth run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth.

Lovett singled in the second inning to put runners at first and second with nobody out, but the Mountain Hawks were unable to capitalize. She also drew two walks as she reached in all three plate appearances.

Sienna Tepley had three hits and Ashton White added two for Army.

In the circle, first-year Addison Moorman went the first 1.1 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits. Junior Maddy Clark threw the final 4.2 innings.

Army's Amanda Eaglin earned the shutout with seven strikeouts and two walks across seven innings.

Tayten Moore's two-run single keyed a four-run first inning, with the Black Knights adding two more runs in the second to once again go up 6-0. Hannah Laub also had two RBIs for the Black Knights in the nightcap.

On the board thanks to Lizzie Kern!
