women's soccer ties, as two
of four Lehigh-Lafayette
matchups this weekend

Not only was there the best of times and the
worst of times this weekend versus Lafayette,
but there was even a time of indifference as
Lehigh teams picked up a win, two losses, and a
tie.
The cross country teams kicked off the
competitions on Saturday morning, splitting
with the Leopards. The women's race went off
first and saw Lafayette runners finish 1, 2, and
3. Sue Allex was the top Engineer placer,
finishing fourth, followed by Michelle Dippolito
who.was fifth.
Lafayette claimed the next two spots, while
Engineers Stacy Imler, Jen Middleton, and
Alicia Stanfill came in eighth, ninth and tenth.
The 'pards came away with a 19-36 victory.
The men's run was much closer. The race
was decided when Matt Rosetti blew past
Lafayette's Ryan Hefferman on the final stretch
to take seventh place. The Engineers had
already grabbed the second, third, and fourth
spots thanks to Nick Albrecht, Rob Christie, and
Matt Van Lierop. Lafayette's Clay Lodovice had
won the race, while two Leopards crossed the finish

line fifth and sixth.
Rosetti's surge helped Lehigh edge out Lafayette
27-29. The difference in team time was 1:22.
The women's soccer team traveled to Easton for
its clash with the Leopards, and left with a 3-3 tie.
Kate Dilatush put the Engineers on top six
minutes into the game, but Lafayette came right back
to even it up 24 seconds later on a goal by Laura
Graceffa.
Dilatush then scored her second unassisted goal
late in the first half to give Lehigh a 2-1 lead at the
break. Lafayette's Sue Falco then forced overtime
with a goal in the game's 68th minute.
Dia Johnson scored 30 seconds into overtime to
put Lehiigh on top, but Graceffa countered with her
second goal on the afternoon, a little over a minute
later.
Lehigh goalie Vicki Uremovich had 11 saves on
the day, while Lafayette keeper Portia Pollock staved
off 19 Engineer shots.
The men's soccer team wound up on the short end
of a 2-0 decision to Lafayette on Goodman Campus
Saturday afternoon.
The Engineers failed to convert on nine shots,
while two of Lafayette's 11 shots found their way to
the back ofthe net. Brad Purcel scored in the 13th
minute, and Mark Russel added insurance in the
78th minute.
The field hockey team will host Lafayette this
Saturday in a pivotal match that will decide the
location ofthe Patriot League tournament.
The volleyball team hosts the Leopards on
November 8, in Grace Hall, and the football team
wraps up the rivalry games for the fall in Easton on
November 19.
