Griffin named Patriot League Goalie of Week
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh senior Ali Griffin was named Patriot League Goalie of the Week on Monday following a Senior Day shutout over Holy Cross. Griffin made four saves, two in each half, to lead the Mountain Hawks to a 1-0 victory. It marked Lehigh's second Goalkeeper of the Week award this season after junior Ashley Blanks earned the honor following a 1-0 shutout at Army.
The shutout marked Griffin's third of her career, this coming in her first action of the season. The Mountain Hawks outshot the Crusaders 22-6. Four of Holy Cross' shots were on goal, but the Islip, N.Y. native was there to stop them all.
Junior Danielle Salans was also recognized on Monday with honorable mention laurels. The junior wrapped up an impressive campaign by scoring her team-leading fourth goal of the season on Saturday. She took a feed from classmate Jordan Goodwin and converted the game's only goal in the 47th minute. The Mountain Hawks were undefeated (2-0-2) when Salans had a point this season.
Lehigh wrapped up its season with a 5-10-2 record, 3-6-0 in the Patriot League. Despite beginning 0-4-0 in league play, the Mountain Hawks won two of their next three games to jump right back into the playoff picture. Four of Lehigh's six league losses were by a single goal as a talented squad looks to bounce back in 2014.
