Box Score

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Army West Point women's soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision here Saturday night to Lehigh.

The Black Knights outshot their hosts 17-11 but weren't able to find the needed tally to pull even after the Mountain Hawks scored in the 20th minute.

Lehigh, who had an eight-game unbeaten streak to start the season, saw Tori Pantaleo tally the game's lone goal after Alyssa Riporti played her a throughball from midfield. Pantaleo then finished off the opportunity into the top left corner of the net just past the outstretched arms of Jordan Cassalia.

ARMY HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES

Despite the outcome, Army still holds the edge on the all-time series at 16-7-5.
Both teams earned five shots on frame throughout the contest.
Clare Shea led all players with six shots, three of which that were on frame.
Brianna Nicholas added three shots, while Lauryn Westman, Nicole Bautista and Sydney Witham tallied two shots each.
Cassalia made four stops in the loss, extending her season saves total to 59.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Early in the contest, Riporti played a throughball from behind midfield to a running Pantaleo. The senior then broke free and finished off the chance into the top left corner of the goal.
The Black Knights had plenty of opportunities to pull even in the remaining minutes, including a 11-4 advantage on shots in the second period, but the Mountain Hawks were able to defend any Army chances to secure the win.
