Lock Haven 2, Lehigh University 1
Bethlehem, Pa.

(Bethlehem, Pa. ) - Two second-half goals within a four-minute span lifted the Lock Haven University field hockey team over Lehigh University, 2-1, in its first road game of the new season.  The Lady Eagles improve to 2-0 overall.
                Defense was the story in the first half as both teams took a total of only four shots including three by the Haven.  The LHU offense kicked into gear in the second half, however, firing nine shots at the goal following the intermission.  Senior Kellie Kulina (Hummelstown/Lower Dauphin) broke the scoreless tie in the 52nd minute, notching her first goal of the season off a penalty corner play assisted by Sarah Huber (Plymouth Meeting/Christopher Dock) and Katie Stewartz (Boyertown/Boyertown). 
                In the 56th minute, freshman midfielder Renee Kemmerer (Nineveh, N.Y./Afton) shot the ball past the Lehigh keeper for an unassisted score, raising the lead to 2-0 in favor of the Lady Eagles.
                Lehigh threatened with a goal in the 66th minute of action, but the Haven defense held to go on to the 2-1 victory.
                Defensively, Lock Haven limited Lehigh to only four shots over the contest. Keeper Melissa Stubblefield (Carmel, N.Y./Carmel) turned away two shots while allowing just one goal. Lehigh’s Jeanine Hoff made nine saves.
                The Lock Haven field hockey team (2-0) remains on the road this weekend, traveling to the Boston College Tournament to play the University of Vermont at 5 p.m. on Sat., Sept. 4, and Radford College on Sun., Sept. 5, at 3 p.m.
