In her tenure, Redfern has led the Mountain Hawks to nine Patriot League Tournaments in 11 seasons (the 12th was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020). The Mountain Hawks have qualified for the league tourney in each of the last six seasons (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 2018 and 2019). In her time, the Mountain Hawks own a 114-83 record, including seasons of 11, 14, 10, 13, 12 and 13 victories, as Redfern continues to take the Lehigh program to new heights. Redfern was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in September of 2018. During her playing days, Redfern was a two time Division III All-American at Ursinus Col- lege and was named Most Outstanding Player of the 1986 NCAA Tournament as she helped lead the Bears to a national championship. Following her collegiate playing experience, Redfern was a member of the US National Lacrosse Team from 1987-1993, and capped off her international play as a member of the winning United States World Cup Team in 1993, in Edinburgh Scotland. As a coach, Redfern has led Lehigh to sustained success. In 2020, the Mountain Hawks were going strong, recording a 6-2 record when the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the rest of the season. Lehigh was averaging 14.50 goals per game, led by senior Sondra Dickey and freshman Gabby Schneider. Dickey was sixth nationally goals (32) and 12th in points (42), while Schneider was seventh in assists (21) and 14th in points (41). Dickey became Lehigh women’s lacrosse’s second student-athlete ever named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List. In 2019, Lehigh bounced back from a tough start to win its final four regular season games for its sixth straight Patriot League Tournament, a program record. Dickey was named IWLCA second team All-Region for a second straight year – only the Mountain Hawks’ second two-time honoree since the turn of the century. The Mountain Hawks posted a 38-17 record from 2016-18, among the most wins in the nation over that three-year stretch. Lehigh tallied a 13-6 record in 2018, including a school-record seven Patriot League wins (compared to just two losses). For the second straight season, the Mountain Hawks earned the No. 3 seed in the league tournament, host- ing a Patriot League Quarterfinal for a third straight year. Despite losing multiple key players to season-ending injuries, Lehigh won seven straight games spanning the end of the regular season and beginning of the postseason. The Mountain Hawks dominated Boston University in the Patriot League opener 15-8, handing the Terriers their largest-ever Patriot League defeat. Individually, Dickey emerged in leading the team in goals (54) and points (76). Dickey and Kayleen Kelly each broke the previous school record for draw controls in a season. Kelly broke Lehigh’s single-game (10), season (86) and career (169) records for draw controls (which Cecily Redfern and Dickey have since broken), while Dickey added 81, each shattering the previous school record of 47. Both Kelly and Kierstyn Voiro were named All-Patriot League and Academic All-League, impressing on and off the field. The Mountain Hawks went 12-6 in 2017, including a 6-3 mark in Patriot League play to earn the No. 3 seed in the league tournament where they defeated Bucknell 15-5 in the quarterfinals. It marked the first time in school history Lehigh won a Patriot League tournament game in back-to-back seasons. Allison LaBeau highlighted the victory, setting a Patriot League Tournament single-game record with 11 points, which included a record-tying six assists. LaBeau finished the year with a school-record 46 assists along with 91 points - second in school history. The Mountain Hawks went on to play a hard-fought game against Navy in the league semifinals, dropping a slim one-goal final against a Mids’ team that went on to beat Penn, UMass and North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament to advance the Final Four. Lehigh finished the 2016 season with a strong 13-5 record, including a 6-3 record in the Patriot League. The six league victories marked a school record while the Mountain Hawks hosted a league tournament game, and won a postseason contest, for the first time since 2010. Lehigh beat Colgate in the Patriot League quarterfinals to reach the semifinals for the first time since 2011. LaBeau was named the league’s Attacker of the Year while Julianne D’Orazio and Kendall Garden were also named first team All-League, and Lauren Beausoleil garnered second team laurels. The Mountain Hawks earned a big road victory at Boston University while taking Loyola into overtime during the regular season. The Mountain Hawks advanced to their second straight Patriot League Tournament in 2015, finishing the season 9-8 highlighted by several quality victories. Included was a thrilling, last-second win at Bryant, a team that went on to win the NEC and advance to the NCAA Tournament. The Mountain Hawks also topped Big Ten foe Rutgers on the road in front of a nationally-televised audience on the Big Ten Network. As a team, the Mountain Hawks finished 2015 with the league’s third-best goals against average (8.06) while leading the Patriot League in caused turnovers per game (9.71). Sukonik’s 42 goals were firth in the league while LaBeau’s 48 points stood eighth. Garden led the league with 31 caused turnovers.
