No. 12 Navy 23, Lehigh 6: The host Mountain Hawks (4-6, 0-3 Patriot League) closed the gap to 8-5 before the Mids (8-2, 3-0) outscored them 15-1 over the final 35 minutes. Navy had 10 players combine to score a season-high 23 goals. Kelly Larkin and Andie O’Sullivan led the Mids with five goals each.
It was the first time this season that Navy scored 20 goals and the first since defeating Lehigh, 20-5, in the Patriot League Tournament last season.
"It is all about the team," Navy coach Cindy Timcal said. "We know how tough it is to come out in the middle of the week and play a tough Lehigh team.”
