The Lehigh women’s soccer team recently wrapped up a strong spring campaign with its eyes set on next fall. A young Mountain Hawks’ squad played neck-and-neck with strong competition, picking up some big victories, including a shutout of St. John’s out of the Big East.
Three Mountain Hawks were recognized Tuesday at the annual LVAIAW (Lehigh Valley Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women) awards luncheon at Starters Riverport. Seniors Genna Pepe (soccer) and Katherine Pierce (track & field/cross country) were recognized within their respective sports while Julie Fernandez (softball) was named the Outstanding Athlete at Lehigh.
Lehigh Athletics held its annual Convocation Program on Monday, April 30 at Baker Hall inside the Zoellner Arts Center to look back on the significant team and individual accomplishments of the past year. The event featured a highlight video, and the announcement of winners of Lehigh’s departmental awards.
The Lehigh women’s soccer team will play a competitive five-game spring slate which kicks off on Saturday, Mar. 24 at Rider. The Mountain Hawks will then head home for three games at the Ulrich Sports Complex before their Alumni Game on Apr. 21.
Lehigh women’s soccer head coach Eric Lambinus announced the team’s incoming class of 2016, which consists of seven student-athletes from five different states including California, New Mexico, New York, Michigan and Tennessee. The class also features a diverse group of talent, with multiple defenders and midfielders along with a goalkeeper.
