BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Owning an undefeated 5-0-1 record through six games, the Lehigh women's soccer team looks to keep the momentum going on Saturday when the Mountain Hawks begin Patriot League play at Holy Cross. Opening kickoff is set for 3 p.m. 
 
Lehigh is coming off a pair of 2-0 wins vs. Binghamton and at Villanova last weekend to extend its shutout streak to begin the season to six straight games. The Mountain Hawks haven't allowed a goal for 633:57 dating back to the end of last season, and they're the only team in NCAA Division I women's soccer that has yet to allow a goal in 2016.
 
Last weekend, Lehigh scored two second-half goals against the Bearcats as freshman Sidonie Warnecker converted a nifty pass from sophomore Sabrina Mertz for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Junior Grace Correll went on to add an insurance tally. Then on Sunday, freshman goalkeeper Sam Miller made seven first-half saves to help the Mountain Hawks take a 1-0 lead into halftime, finishing the game with a career-high nine stops. Miller was recognized with Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week honors, her third consecutive weekly award to begin her career, while she was also named the NSCAA College Player of the Week.
 
Miller was one of three Mountain Hawks to earn a weekly award for a second consecutive week. Junior Adrian Vitello, who scored the first goal against Villanova, received her second straight Midfielder of the Week honor while junior Alyssa Riporti was named Defensive Player of the Week.
 
Lehigh has outscored its opponents 14-0 on the season, led by four Mountain Hawks who own multiple goals. Senior Tori Pantaleo has a team-leading four goals and eight points while Correll has scored three goals (six points), Vitello owns two goals and an assist (five points) and freshman Maggie Wadsworthhas two goals (four points).
 
Holy Cross stands 1-6-0 on the season, beginning the year with a 3-1 win over Iona before dropping its next six games. Most recently, the Crusaders fell to New Hampshire 3-2, one game after dropping a 4-0 final at Northeastern. Andj Seslija leads the team with six points with three goals while Kara Shaw owns five points behind two goals and an assist. Three goalkeepers have started a game this season, led by Caroline Cashion, who has started four and owns a 2.02 goals against average and .771 save percentage.
 
The Crusaders lead the all-time series 13-9-2. Last season, the teams played to a scoreless draw in the league opener. Holy Cross won in 2014 by a 1-0 final and prior to that game, Lehigh was undefeated over its previous four contests against the Crusaders (3-0-1).
 
Following Saturday's game, the Mountain Hawks return home to host Temple on Tuesday (Sept. 20) at 5 p.m.
