BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Haley O'Hanlon (Garden City, New York) recorded four draw controls to give her 204 in her career and set the program record Saturday afternoon but the Colgate women's lacrosse team fell to Lehigh, 12-6, at the Ulrich Sports Complex.

Lehigh opened the game with four straight goals before O'Hanlon put the Raiders on the board with 14:03 to go in the first half with her first goal of the game. The Mountain Hawks ended the half on a 3-0 run to take a 7-1 lead over the Raiders at halftime.
 
O'Hanlon tied her career-high with her 34th goal just 36 seconds into the second half and Gabriel pulled the Raiders back within four with her 18th of the season with 26:45 left in the second half.
 
The Mountain Hawks scored three straight goals to extend their lead to 10-3 and Julianne Puckette capped off her hat trick with a goal in that stretch.
 
Colgate scored three of the final five goals over the final 7:45 of the game, including both of Atkinson's goals before Kelly closed the scoring with 2:01 to go in the game.

FROM THE SOURCE
Head coach Heather Young
On Saturday's game
"We had some big lapses in our game today and couldn't fire on all cylinders for big portions of it. We had a lot of turnovers that really hurt us. Lehigh did a great job capitalizing on our mistakes and they played a great game. We will need to regroup and look to bounce back against American."

On Haley O'Hanlon
"
Big congrats to Haley on her hard work on the draw circle today. I'm so proud to see her break the all-time Colgate career draw record. She is so deserving of it!"
