BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Junior goalkeeper Anton Kinnunen was named Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week on Monday afternoon. Kinnunen helped lead the Mountain Hawks to a 1-0-1 week and first-place ranking in the Patriot League standings.
Kinnunen collected his ninth career clean sheet in last Tuesday's 0-0 tie at Columbia. The Kemi, Finland native made four saves in the effort. Against Navy on Saturday, Kinnunen helped solidify a Lehigh defense that only allowed four total shots and one on goal. The Mountain Hawks went on to defeat the Midshipmen 2-1 and moved to 3-0 in Patriot League play.
