Lehigh improves to 8-5 on the year and 2-1 in league play while the Bison are now 4-7 with a 3-1 mark in Patriot League this season.
Today's match, the Lehigh field hockey squad hosted their Breast Cancer Awareness Game. In partnership with St. Luke's University Health Network, they raised a total of $1,920 that will go to the Breast Cancer Compassion fund.
After a scoreless first quarter, Lehigh would have a scoring opportunity in the circle that first year Kiki Mes would send into the back of the cage for her first-collegiate goal off a pass from first year Maddie Kandra to give the Mountain Hawks a 1-0 lead.
After the intermission Lehigh would notch its second marker of the contest with a goal coming off a penalty corner, one of the first corners of the contest, that was shot in by White off an assist from Mes. Bucknell's Kira Leclercq got the Bison on the scoreboard when she scored her second goal of the year, which was assisted by Isabella Pavlides and Mackenzie Kile, to cut their deficit in half with just five minutes remaining in the third quarter.Thoughts from coach Dallmeyer after Lehigh's sixth-straight win over Bucknell. pic.twitter.com/F24kPCpFTg

After some pressure from the Bison offense, Apa would strike for her second goal of the season off another penalty corner assisted by Kile and Leclercq. That would tie the match at 2-2 and the squads would head into overtime.
The Mountain Hawks needed just 36 seconds to earn a penalty corner in the extra ten-minute period, where White would rip a shot past the Bucknell goalkeeper to earn Lehigh a 3-2 victory.
Defensively, Lehigh was able to hold Bucknell to eight shots, with senior goalkeeper Maddie Kahn making four saves. The Mountain Hawks earned seven total penalty corners, with six of them coming in the third quarter and the other in overtime, holding the Bison to three. Lehigh did outshoot their opponent, taking 11 shots, eight of them on goal while Bucknell recorded eight shots in the match.Sydney White scored not once, but TWICE! ✌️ pic.twitter.com/cSrsQhaWCW
