Lehigh Completes Campaign
with Win Over No. 7 Georgetown
Mountain Hawks complete season with 11-4 mark
With the final
three goals of the
game, the Lehigh
men's lacrosse
team ended its
1997 season with
four straight wins,
capped with an 11-
10 win over the
Head Coach seventh-ranked
John McCloskey Georgetown Hoyas
in the season finale at Georgetown.
John Fowler's goal with 32
seconds left in the contest lifted
Lehigh to the victory. The Mountain
Hawks scored the final three goals of
the game and outscored the Hoyas 8-
2 in the second half.
The win puts Lehigh's final
record at 11-4 and a top-25 standing
in the national rankings. The squad
finished second in the Patriot League
with a 4-1 mark.
Brad Baker, Mark Duncan, and
Vince Geppi led Lehigh with two
goals each.
Duncan, at press time, continues
to lead the nation in goals per game
with a 3.6 average with 54 goals in
15 games. His total of 54 goals also
leads the nation.
Duncan, Lehigh's lone first-team
All-Patriot League member, also
scored the second-most goals in the
nation in a single game as he
notched six goals in Lehigh's 18-11
win over Providence College earlier
this week.
In addition to Duncan's first-team
selection, Lehigh placed five players
on the second unit.
Brad Baker, who led the league in
assists, was tabbed a second-team
member at attack.
Vince Geppi was named second-
team at midfield.
Geppi, one of the team's tri-
captains, was among the top five
scorers on the squad with 20 goals
and 14 assists.
A pair of Lehigh defenders were
named to the second team with Jared
Harrison and Doug Mylowe receiving
the honor.
Harrison recorded one assist on
the season and Mylowe scored five
goals as two of the best defenders in
the Patriot League.
The team opened the season
winning six of its first seven games
with wins over VMI, Farifield,
nationally ranked Stony Brook, St.
Joseph's, including league wins over
Holy Cross and a 20-1 thrashing of
Lafayette College.
The only losses came from some
of the top schools in the nation in
UMBC, Army, Loyola, and Butler,
with the final wins over Villanova,
Colgate, Providence, and seventh-
ranked Georgetown.
Brad Baker led the Patriot League in assists.
