Junior Lucas Spence finished with a game-high four goals and five points, none bigger than scoring the game-winner 42 seconds into overtime to send the fourth-seeded Lehigh men's lacrosse team past No. 11/13 and second-seeded Navy, 10-9, in the Patriot League Semifinals on Friday night. Spence's brother James came up big in the fourth quarter between the pipes while sophomore Conor Gaffney won the final five faceoffs of the game to help the Mountain Hawks come back from an 8-7 deficit to score three of the final four goals. With the win, Lehigh advances to its first Patriot League Championship Game since 2014 and fourth in the last seven seasons; the Mountain Hawks will face host, top seed and No. 6/8 nationally-ranked Loyola on Sunday at 12 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.
