Colgate and Lehigh Play to 1-1 Double-Overtime Draw

Miller Scores for Raiders, Chiavaro with Nine Saves in Goal

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – First-year Ellis Miller scored an equalizer for Colgate in the 14th minute before the Raiders and Lehigh played to a 1-1 double-overtime draw at the Ulrich Sports Complex Wednesday night.
 
The Raiders run their unbeaten streak to five-straight games as Colgate picks up one point in the league standings with the result. Sophomore keeper Kelly Chiavaro made a season-best nine saves in goal to help the Raiders earn the result.
 
Lehigh took a 1-0 lead just 1:12 into the contest on Kayla Arestivo's second goal of the season.
 
The Raiders were able to tie it up in the 14th minute when a Lehigh foul led to a free kick at the top of the box. Miller stepped up and fired the ball into the top left-hand corner of the goal to put the score at 1-1.
 
Colgate out-shot the Mountain Hawks 4-0 over the next 15 minutes. The Mountain Hawks nearly took a 2-1 lead in the 33rd minute when Maggie Wadsworth caught Chiavaro out of net, but first-year Syd Maxson cleared the ball off the goal line to keep the score knotted. Chiavaro made two big saves in the final 13 minutes of the term to keep Lehigh from going ahead as the game was sent to halftime.
 
Chiavaro made two more key stops in the opening three minutes of the second half to thwart another Lehigh push. The teams traded possession and shots for the remainder of regulation, with each keeper making two more saves in net. Colgate held off a late Lehigh charge that saw three Mountain Hawk shots in the final three minutes to send the game to overtime.
 
 A header from sophomore Leah Lewis off a free kick from junior Martina Loncar nearly sent the Raiders home with a victory halfway through the first overtime period, but her effort flew just wide.  Chiavaro made two stops in the second overtime and neither team was able to find the back of the net as the game ended in a 1-1 tie.
