Lehigh dominates, but falls at Bucknell

Lewisburg, PA – Somedays its better just to stay at home in bed. The Mountain Hawks may be wishing they had chosen to do so, after a heartbreaking loss at Bucknell on Sunday afternoon. Nothing went their way from the time they woke up this morning, and it was capped off with the 1-0 defeat despite dominating play on the pitch all afternoon.

Lehigh (7-4, 1-2) held Bucknell (5-3-1, 1-1-1) to exactly one shot on goal the entire game – but it was a shot that found the back of the net, which is something the Mountain Hawks could not manage to do.  Lehigh outshot Bucknell 9-1 on the afternoon.

The day started off poorly for the Mountain Hawks as their bus arrived two-and-a-half hours late, pushing back the start of the game by 90 minutes.  Head coach Manny Oudin said the travel was definitely a factor. “We had 20 minutes to warm up,” said Oudin. “I think it definitely weighed on the players minds.  Having said that, this was still a game we should have won.  We had plenty of good scoring opportunities, but just didn’t take advantage of them. The defense played pretty well.  I mean, you hold a team to one shot, you expect to win.”

Bucknell scored the game’s only goal on a deflection off the back of defender Kerry Fitz-Patrick off a cross at the 50:17 mark in the second half. Jocelyn Helwig and Lauren Fornuto each had two shots on goal for the Mountain Hawk offense.

Lehigh continues its season this Thursday as they go back on the road to face Towson in a non-conference tilt.  Game time is set for 3:00.
