BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh field hockey team returns to Ulrich Field on Saturday to host Bucknell in a Patriot League contest at 11 a.m. The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
On Monday, the Mountain Hawks (7-5, 1-1 PL) defeated Villanova 2-1 in overtime to give Lehigh its fifth straight victory, the program's longest winning streak since 1986, and Lehigh's first win over Villanova since 1988. Senior Sarah Bonthuis got Lehigh on the board on a penalty stroke in the second quarter for her eighth goal of the season and the game-winning goal was scored by sophomore Guusje Hogendoorn, for her first-collegiate goal, with 8.7 seconds remaining in overtime to take down the Wildcats. Senior Maddie Kahn made six saves in the win and junior Lotte Smorenburg recorded her first defensive save of the season.

Bonthuis leads Lehigh in scoring  with eight goals and seven assists, followed by Brown's seven goals. Eight other Mountain Hawks have registered at least one goal on the year. Kahn enters the weekend with a 2.34 goals-against average and a .718 save percentage in 12 starts.
Bucknell (4-7, 3-0 PL) travels to Bethlehem coming off a 3-0 loss to Cornell on the road on Sunday afternoon after taking down Colgate, 5-3, in Patriot League play on Saturday. Sophomore Isabella Pavlides scored twice and was credited with an assist in the victory over Colgate, with sophomore Lily Neilson, senior Kayla Kisthardt and senior Maddie Rehak also find the back of the cage for the Bison.
