Mountain Hawks Drop 2-1 Decision To First-Place Colgate
10/15/2025 8:28:00 PM | Women's Soccer
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Senior Sophia Lis scored an equalizer two minutes into the second half, but Colgate's Josie Tunney scored her second goal of the night to lift the visiting Raiders to a 2-1 win over the Mountain Hawks Wednesday night at the Ulrich Sports Complex.
Â
Junior R'Reeyah Mabry-Francis faced 27 shots on the night and made 11 saves for Lehigh, but Tunney's brace helped the Raiders maintain their first-place position in the standings.
Â
Lehigh falls to 2-8-3 overall and 0-5-1 in league play.
Â
Colgate (7-4-4, 4-1-1 PL) capitalized on a strange bounce to take the lead 37 minutes in. A 50-50 ball was headed wide of the near post when it suddenly caromed back across the goal mouth. Tunney tapped the loose ball home to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead, which stood at halftime. Colgate out-shot Lehigh 12-1 in the opening 45 minutes.
Â
Lis tied the game early in the second half when she headed home a cross from first-year Paige Place for her second goal of the season.
The Raiders went back in front with just over 20 minutes remaining. Mabry-Francis saved Molly Richards' header off a Raider corner kick, but Tunney was there to score on the rebound to put Colgate up 2-1.
Â
Lehigh's best chance at another equalizer came in the 82nd minute, but Colgate's Ella Poppinga saved a hard shot by junior Aminah Baruwa.
Â
Shots favored Colgate by a 27-7 margin, with the Raiders also having an 8-4 edge in corners. Lis and graduate student Faith Dobosiewicz led Lehigh with three shots on the evening.
Â
The Mountain Hawks will next hit the road to face Holy Cross Saturday at 1 p.m.
