BETHLEHEM, Pa. - A late goal from the University at Albany Great Danes was the deciding factor in Lehigh's 2-1 loss to the non-league foe on Sunday.
 
Sunday's game was Lehigh field hockey's Pride Day presented by Lehigh's Pride Center and Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.
 
The first half was a scoreless battle between the teams with the Great Danes outshooting Lehigh 5-1.
 
UAlbany (11-2) struck early into the third quarter, as Alison Smisdom scored off a straight sweep on a penalty corner.
 
Lehigh responded on a penalty corner at 1:51 left in the third. Guusje Hogendoorn assisted Julia Gatelein who put it away as Lehigh tied UAlbany 1-1. The equalizer was Gatelein's eighth goal of the season.
 
The Great Danes scored the game-winner off a give-and-go buildup through the attacking 50 meters with 54 seconds left.
 
UAlbany out-cornered Lehigh 7-2 and outshot the Mountain Hawks 18-4 with 13 shots coming in the second half.
 
Senior goalkeeper Jenny Canoni recorded eight saves while UAlbany's Lara Behn made two.
 
Lehigh (6-6) returns home on Saturday to host Bucknell at 1 p.m.
