LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Lock Haven scored just 23 seconds into the game and the Lehigh field hockey team could never respond as the Bald Eagles topped the Mountain Hawks 4-0 on Sunday afternoon. Sophomore goalie Julia Ward entered in relief to stop seven-of-eight shots sent her way as the Lehigh defense bounced back to allow just one goal over the game's final 53:42.
The Bald Eagles took a quick 1-0 lead on the first rush of the game as Rachel Valentine finished a centering pass just 23 seconds into the contest. Lock Haven doubled its lead at 12:17 off a penalty corner as junior Kat Kneizys made a defensive save, but the ball eventually crossed the goal line to make it 2-0. The Bald Eagles made it 3-0 just over four minutes later at 16:18. After that point, the Lehigh defense bore down to allow just one shot the rest of the half, which Ward saved to keep the deficit at three heading into halftime.
The Mountain Hawks had some glittering opportunities to cut the deficit to two when they generated three consecutive penalty corners beginning in the 55th minute. Junior Erin Ricker had a shot off one of those corners, but Lock Haven goalie Elaina White came out strong to make the stop.
Just under three minutes later, the Bald Eagles were finally able to beat Ward as they executed a redirection at the far post off a penalty corner to make it 4-0 at 57:49, which proved to be the final.
Final shots were 19-3 in favor of Lock Haven while the Bald Eagles held a 13-5 edge in penalty corners. Ward finished with seven saves relieving freshman Katie Morris who made her first-career start. White made two stops for Lock Haven.
Lehigh will return to action on Saturday when the Mountain Hawks travel to archrival Lafayette on Saturday at 12 p.m.
