History
BALTIMORE – The Lehigh women’s lacrosse team jumped out to a 3-0 lead, which later extended to 5-1, and the Mountain Hawks would never trail in an 11-8 win over Coastal Carolina on Friday. The game was played at Johns Hopkins’ Homewood Field. Sophomore Olivia Memeger led the offense with career highs in goals (4), assists (2) and points (6) while junior Emma Eberhardt posted six points as well via three goals and three assists. The win is Lehigh’s third in its last four games, all coming in the last 10 days, to improve to 3-3 on the season.
Along with the two six-point performances, junior Gabby Schneider added four assists. Junior Cassie Marte scored twice for her second-career multi-goal game. Senior Nora Giordano posted a goal and assist.
Seniors Jenna Garden, Claire Keller and Lily Salcedo each posted a caused turnover defensively, while Schneider also had three on the ride. Eberhardt and Marte each had a game-high four draw controls.
