  • Hellman's first goal snapped a career-long shutout streak for Chase Vosvick, who had kept opponents off the scoreboard for a stretch of 392 straight minutes dating back to Oct. 26, 2019.
  • American (2-1 PL, 2-1 South) snapped a four-game losing streak to Loyola, earning its first win in the series since a 3-0 triumph on Oct. 7, 2015.

Series History

  • Lehigh holds a slim 4-3 edge through the first seven meetings between the sides, with the home side winning every previous matchup..
  • Lehigh earned a 1-0 victory in last year's meeting on Oct. 12. The Greyhounds led 25-10 in shots (17-5 in the second half), but seven saves from Will Smith in goal and a first-half penalty kick allowed the Mountain Hawks to prevail.
  • Six of the seven meetings have been decided by one goal, and four games have had 1-0 scorelines.
  • The last Loyola victory was a 1-0 triumph at Ridley on Oct. 27, 2018, with Brian Saramago setting up Nico Brown for the game's only goal in the 8th min.

About the Mountain Hawks

  • Jr. F Josh Luchini, who topped the PL with 11 goals while leading Lehigh to a conference championship in 2019, is a MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List candidate. He recorded his second-career hat trick in Lehigh's win over Bucknell.
  • Luchini was also named the PL Preseason Offensive POY, while Sr. M Stevo Bednarsky was chosen as the conference's Preseason Midfielder of the Year. Those two, along with Sr. D Nick Jennings, were all Preseason All-PL selections.
