BETHLEHEM, Pa. - After a few tough games, the Lehigh field hockey team will look to bounce back this weekend when it hosts Bucknell in the Patriot League opener Saturday (12 p.m.) before also welcoming Big East foe Providence on Sunday (1 p.m.). Lehigh is coming off a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime defeat at La Salle. Both games this weekend can be seen live, for free, through the Patriot League Network.
Â
Against the Explorers, senior Kassidy Green scored first just 7:48 into the game, but La Salle evened the score less than 10 minutes later. After a long stretch without a goal, La Salle netted the game-winner less than 30 seconds into overtime.
Â
Senior Julia Ward impressed vs. the Explorers, finishing with eight saves which included five in the second half. Green posted a game-high four shots (all on goal) while sophomore Teresa Carotenuto fired a pair of shots on goal. The second half saw up-and-down action for both sides, with big momentum swings, but neither team could score the go-ahead goal in regulation.
Â
Green's goal ended a long scoreless drought for the Mountain Hawks, marking their first goal since the first half of the season-opening win over Rider. Green, Carotenuto and senior Marissa Glatt own Lehigh's goals this season while Ward has a 2.80 goals against average and .736 save percentage. Sophomore Lindsay Alvarez has made two defensive saves while junior Jackie Renda owns one, which was made Sunday at La Salle.
Â
Bucknell enters the weekend 2-3, coming off a 9-1 loss at No. 4 Penn State Tuesday. The Bison have defeated Rutgers (2-0) and Albany (3-2 in overtime). Brittany Willwerth leads the team with nine points behind four goals and one assist while Nicole Rupnik owns five points (two goals, one assist). Marisa Morakis and Katie Mannino each have one goal. Amy Mucelli has an assist and defensive save. Emily Finn has played every minute between the pipes, recording a 3.97 GAA and .667 save percentage.
Â
The Mountain Hawks hold a 21-19-1 edge in the all-time series, but the Bison have won the last four meetings. Last season, Lehigh led Bucknell 2-1 midway through the second half behind a pair of Carotenuto goals, but the Bison stormed back for a 4-2 win. The Mountain Hawks' last win over Bucknell came in 2011 by a 1-0 final.
Â
Providence is 4-2 on the season, leading into a game at Temple Friday. The Friars have defeated Sacred Heart (6-1), Vermont (3-1), Bryant (1-0) and Rider (3-1) while falling to Maine (7-1) and Northeastern (1-0 in overtime). Adrienne Houle leads the offense with 11 points behind five goals and one assist. Kali Kilmer is second with six points (three goals) while Sylvia Miller has five points (two goals, one assist). Megan Guilbert has played every minute in goal, owning a strong 1.77 GAA and .686 save percentage.
Â
Sunday will mark the first-ever meeting between Lehigh and Providence.
Â
After this weekend's games, the Mountain Hawks head to our nation's capital next weekend when they face American on Saturday (Sept. 24) and Georgetown on Sunday (Sept. 25).
