BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Riding a four-game winning streak, the Lehigh field hockey team looks to continue its success this weekend when it heads to Massachusetts to face Boston University on Saturday and UMass-Lowell on Sunday. Both games are set to begin at 1 p.m. The Mountain Hawks currently stand 2-2 in Patriot League play, tied for the fourth and final league tournament berth, heading into Saturday's matchup against the Terriers.
Lehigh has just four regular season games remaining, two of which are league games. Following this weekend, the Mountain Hawks have 12 days before their next game, a big Patriot League matchup at archrival Lafayette on Oct. 28. They then host Brown on Senior Day Oct. 30. Lehigh is vying for its first league tournament appearance since 2012.
The Mountain Hawks are coming off a dominant weekend, which saw them defeat Colgate and Towson by a combined 11-0, holding a 50-9 edge in shots over the two contests. Lehigh beat Colgate 6-0 on Saturday, its largest-ever margin of victory during a Patriot League game. After shutting out Holy Cross the previous Friday, it marked the first time in school history Lehigh has recorded a shutout in back-to-back Patriot League contests. The Mountain Hawks then outshoot Towson 20-0 Sunday, beating the Tigers 6-0 for their fourth-straight win, the program's longest winning streak since 1986.
Senior Marissa Glatt was recognized on Tuesday with Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week honors, Lehigh's third weekly award of the season and second in as many weeks. Senior Kassidy Green earned honorable mention recognition after dishing an assist and helping spearhead Lehigh's strong defensive effort. Freshman goalkeeper Paige Innarella garnered honorable mention laurels as well after pitching a pair of shutouts. The Mountain Hawks have recorded a shutout in three of their last four games. The three shutouts on the season are their most since 2004.
Ranked No. 14 in the NFHCA national poll, Boston University is currently tied for second place in the league standings at 2-1, owning an 8-4 overall mark. The Terriers began the season 7-0, but then lost four straight (three of which were one-goal defeats) before bouncing back with a 2-1 win at Bucknell last time out. Amanda Cassera leads Boston University in points with 14 behind a team-high six goals and two assists. Behind her is Taylor Blood with 13 points (four goals, team-high five assists) and Hester van der Laan with 12 (five goals, two assists). Two others own 11 points. Cammy Jensen has started all 12 games in goal, tallying a 1.40 goals against average and .717 save percentage.
The Terriers lead the all-time series, 3-0, with every game coming since Boston University joined the Patriot League in 2013.
Lehigh will head north on Sunday to face UMass-Lowell for the first time in school history. Out of the America East, the Riverhawks are 6-6 heading into a Friday matchup against Albany. Heading into the weekend, UMass-Lowell has won three straight, at Sacred Heart (5-0), vs. New Hampshire (2-1) and against Vermont (3-2). The Riverhawks have scored, and allowed, several goals this season, averaging 3.17 goals per game while allowing 3.08. Anouk Lalande leads the team in points with 22 (eight goals, team-high six assists) while two others have eclipsed 20 points; Torrie Huk owns 21 points (team-high nine goals, three assists) and Christa Doiron has 20 (eight goals, four assists). Two goalkeepers have seen significant time, led by Eva Berkhout, who owns a 1.89 GAA and .771 save percentage.
Following this weekend's games, Lehigh returns to action on Friday, Oct. 28 at Lafayette. Gametime is set for 7 p.m.
