BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh field hockey team will look to break through with its first win this weekend when the Mountain Hawks host Cornell on Friday (7 p.m.) and Towson on Sunday (12 p.m.). Lehigh is coming off a highly-competitive 3-1 loss to Monmouth. Sophomore Gabby Tofig scored her first goal of the season while classmate Julia Ward was stellar with 15 saves in the defeat.
Â
There will be live video and stats available for Sunday's game, but just live stats for Friday's contest.
Â
Prior to Monmouth, the Mountain Hawks dropped games to Saint Joseph's, Saint Francis (Pa.) and Penn. Junior Lindsay Schott has been a bright spot, tallying three goals and one assist through the first four games. She's had a hand in four of the team's five goals. Sophomore Amanda Granger scored the other goal, off a rebound. Defensively, Ward has impressed, owning a .722 save percentage. Senior Steph Fratoni leads the team with two defensive saves while four others have recorded a defensive stop each.
Â
Friday's game will be just the third of Cornell's season. The Big Red opened 2014 with a record-breaking 9-0 win against Patriot League foe Colgate and lost a close 2-1 game to a strong Albany program. Marsia Siergiej leads the team with three goals for six points while Katie Garrity (one goal, two assists) and Elizabeth Horak (two goals) each have four. In total, 10 players have recorded at least one point. Kelly Johnson has started both games in goal, owning a 1.11 goals against average and .750 save percentage.
Â
Cornell leads the all-time series, 20-1-1 with Lehigh's lone win coming in 1993 by a 2-1 final. The Big Red won last year's meeting, 2-0.
Â
The Tigers are 0-3 on the season, but they have a chance to get their first win before they play Lehigh. Towson is set to take on Patriot League opponent American on Saturday before traveling to Bethlehem for Sunday's contest. Tessa Jarvis and Morgan Skavdahl have scored the Tigers' goals this season while Stacey Mackintosh has dished two assists. Megan Boyle has started all three games in goal, owning a 6.83 goals against average and .576 save percentage. Towson has lost to Saint Joseph's (4-1), Lock Haven (7-0) and Saint Francis (Pa.) (5-1).
Lehigh is 12-0 all-time against Towson, most recently beating the Tigers 1-0 last season and 6-3 in 2012.
Â
The Mountain Hawks will open up Patriot League play next weekend when they travel to American on Saturday. They will also take on Georgetown on Sunday in a nonleague game while in Washington D.C.
