BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh women's soccer team will look to end the season on a high note when it welcomes Holy Cross to the Ulrich Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon. Saturday marks Senior Day as prior to the 3 p.m. kickoff, Lehigh will recognize Ali Griffin, Murphee Greeley, Paige Dyrek, Heather Camperson, Katie Gavalchin and Rosie Vitta before their final games as Mountain Hawks.
 
Lehigh enters the weekend having lost two in a row and stand at 4-10-2 overall with a 2-6-0 mark in the Patriot League. Holy Cross comes in riding a three-game losing streak and sports a 2-11-4 overall record and an identical 2-6-0 league mark. The Mountain Hawks stand in seventh and Crusaders in eighth heading into their final game of the season.
 
Despite owning the edge in shots, the Mountain Hawks lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to Colgate last Saturday. Coupled with Army's win over Lafayette, the Black Knights captured the sixth and final spot in the Patriot League Tournament. Lehigh held a 15-10 shot advantage in the game, but the Raiders converted a penalty kick in the 79th minute, which proved to be the difference. Junior Danielle Salans led the team with six shots while Greeley added three including one on goal.
 
Junior Ashley Blanks continued her strong play in goal, making four saves, including several spectacular stops.
 
Greeley leads the team with eight points on the year behind two goals and four assists. Salans has found the back of the net three times, which leads the team. The duo has accounted for the majority of shots this season with Greeley firing 36 and Salans adding 28. Blanks and sophomore Ani Nahapetian have split time in net and have posted goals against averages of 1.01 and 1.45, respectively.
 
The Crusaders' most recent loss came at the hands of Bucknell, a 2-0 shutout in Lewisburg. The game marked their ninth shutout defeat of the season to go along with four scoreless ties. Holy Cross has netted just three goals on the season while giving up 19 to opponents.
 
Holy Cross leads the all-time series 12-8-1, with Lehigh winning the most recent game, a 4-0 shutout in the 2012 regular season finale.
