Lehigh drops 3-1 final to Boston University
10/12/2013 2:16:00 PM | Field Hockey
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Boston University jumped out to a 3-0 second-half lead, but the Mountain Hawks played their best down the stretch as freshman Marissa Glatt scored her Patriot League leading 10th goal of the season in a 3-1 defeat on Saturday. The game marked the first-ever meeting between the two sides. This marks the Terriers' first year in the Patriot League. Â
Â
"They're a strong program," said Lehigh head coach Stacey Blue. "We had a couple opportunities that we didn't capitalize on. We need to finish better. That's something we'll continue working on and hope to improve upon tomorrow [against Lock Haven]."
Â
Lehigh posted the first two shots of the game (both on goal) and earned the first penalty corner. Sophomore Zoey Pacheco had a shot which led to the corner and senior Caitlyn Mitchell tipped a shot off the ensuing corner, which was saved by Boston University goalie Valentina Cerda Eimbcke.
Â
The Terriers turned around and scored on their first shot of the game as Sara Marineau corralled a pass and beat Lehigh freshman goalie Julia Ward low to make it 1-0 at 7:38.
Â
The Terriers made it 2-0 at 20:44 as Amanda Cassera scored the first of her two goals, making it 2-0 at the half.
Â
Cassera struck again off a rebound to make it 3-0 at 39:42. Ward made two straight saves before Cassera scored on the Terriers' third attempt.
Â
Lehigh continued to battle and turned it on down the stretch. It led to a goal at 68:47 when freshman Janelle High found Glatt in the circle. The Doylestown, Pa. native turned and beat Cerda Eimbcke low, inside the far post for the 3-1 final. Lehigh has not been shut-out this season.
Â
"We started to pick it up and started to work well as a team," said Blue. "As I've said before, Marissa has been playing great. She's on a roll, so that's nice to see. I also though Julia played really well. I think we're getting there. We just need to finish and make sure we're capitalizing on our opportunities."
Â
Final shots were 27-5 in favor of BU while the Terriers held a 6-4 edge in penalty corners. Ward was strong, making 17 saves while Cerda Eimbcke made three.
Â
The Mountain Hawks return to action in 24 hours when they host Atlantic 10 member Lock Haven on Sunday at 1 p.m. The game will air live on the Patriot League Network.
Â
"We've got to get ready again," said Blue. "We've been preparing all week. We know what we need to do; we just need to go out and do it."
