Lehigh rebounded from last week’s loss to Villanova, stemmed a recent surge from Colgate and advanced to Sunday’s Patriot League championship game thanks to a 13-9 win over the Raiders at the Ulrich Sports Complex in Bethlehem, Pa., on Friday.
The Mountain Hawks, who hosted the semifinals and final, will play the winner of Army-West Point vs. Loyola, the No. 1 seed in the North region and the No. 2 seed in the South region, respectively.
Lehigh FOGO Mikey Sisselberger did what’s come to be expected: feeding his team the ball, winning 18-of-25 and picking up 14 groundballs. John Sidorski was the primary beneficiary of Sisselberger’s outing and the primary source of production for the Mountain Hawk offense, posting three goals and three assists.
