BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Behind a two-hit shutout from first-year Addison Moorman, Lehigh blanked Holy Cross 3-0 in their series opener Friday afternoon at Leadership Park.

Moorman held the Crusaders without a hit for 4.2 innings before Ava Gambichler singled in the fifth.

Anna Brait singled leading off the seventh for Holy Cross' other hit. Moorman walked one and also hit a batter in her eighth victory of the season.

Lehigh scored single runs in the third and fifth innings without the benefit of a hit. Sophomore Helen Woloshyn scored when classmate Kelly Fricker was caught in a rundown attempting to steal second to give Lehigh a 1-0 lead in the third. Both players initially reached on errors.

In the fifth, the Mountain Hawks loaded the bases on three walks with sophomore Lizzie Kern scoring Woloshyn with a fielder's choice ground ball to shortstop.

Senior Abbey Tabaka laced a single to center field in the fourth for Lehigh's first hit of the day. In the sixth, Fricker singled home first-year Lola Fasano, who reached on a two-base error, to give Lehigh a 3-0 advantage.
