BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh women's lacrosse team jumped out to a 7-4 halftime lead, Columbia scored four of the first five second-half goals to pull even, but the Mountain Hawks answered for a hard-fought 13-10 win on Tuesday at the Ulrich Sports Complex. Seven Lehigh players posted multiple points, led by five (four goals, one assist) from junior Sondra Dickey and four (three goals, one assist) from senior Kellie Gough. Defensively, Lehigh caused 16 of Columbia's 19 turnovers on the afternoon. "I just thought the whole team played well together," said Lehigh head coach Jill Redfern. "It was a great game to get experience where a team comes back on you a little bit, and then we really had to earn it at the end with some good strategy and execution. We kept saying keep your composure. Do the things you know how to do. Try not to put them on the eight-meter. We should learn a lot from this game." Senior Mary Ellen Carron had two goals, classmate Courtney Henig recorded three assists and senior Olivia Kelly, sophomore Hannah Cermack and freshman Nora Giordano all tallied a goal and assist. Defensively, freshman Jenna Garden was stellar with three groundballs and four caused turnovers while junior Alexandra Ladda (3), Kelly (2) and Dickey (2) each recorded multiple caused turnovers. "Our defense did a good job," said Redfern. "Jenna had a great game for us. I thought Ladda was strong on her matchups. We moved her around a little bit. I'm happy with her performance." After Columbia went up 2-1, Lehigh received consecutive goals from Carron and Dickey to give it a 3-2 lead midway through the first half. The Lions pulled even at three, but that's when the Mountain Hawks staged a 4-0 run to create separation, which included two goals from Gough. Gough's second of the game gave Lehigh a 7-3 lead with 8:15 left in the first. The Mountain Hawks will travel to San Diego for their final two games before Patriot League play. Lehigh faces San Diego State on Sunday, Mar. 10 at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. locally) before facing UC Davis on Tuesday, Mar. 12 at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. locally). Lehigh returns to home action on March 16th when it hosts Boston University for its first league contest of the season.
