BALTIMORE – Junior midfielder Lucas Spence scored his fourth goal of the game at the 3:18 mark of overtime as No. 4 Lehigh upset second-seeded Navy, 10-9, in the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament at Ridley Athletic Complex.

Lehigh captured the faceoff to start the extra session and head coach Kevin Cassese immediately called timeout. As he did at the end of regulation, Cassese isolated Spence behind the cage against short stick defender David Jones.

Spence drove from behind and took Jones about eight yards beyond the goal then suddenly spun back and found enough time and space to fire a shot past the earhole of Navy keeper Ryan Kern and into the top corner.
