Lambert, previously named the NEWMAC Women's Field Athlete of the Week and WPI Women's Student-Athlete of the Week, won the high jump in her collegiate debut with a clearance of 5-3.75 on Saturday to help the Engineers secure the Coast Guard Invitational crown and, in the process, qualified for the Division III New England and ECAC Championships.
