COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ball State field hockey team struck first Saturday but saw Lehigh answer back to deal the Cardinals a 2-1 loss at Ohio State's Buckeye Varsity Field.

But the lead lasted less than three minutes. Lehigh converted a penalty corner of its own in the 39th minute with Maddie Monahan deflecting a pass in.
Â
The Mountain Hawks (1-3) scored again in the 54th minute with an unassisted goal from Olivia Perrone that proved to be the game-winner.
Â
Shampton led Ball State (0-6) with four shots in the game, while Abby Ferenczy registered two and placed both of them on goal. Goalkeeper Grace Chavez made four saves for the Cardinals.
Â
Ball State will return to Muncie to host Miami next Saturday, Sept. 15 in the Mid-American Conference opener. The action begins at noon at the Briner Sports Complex.
