Field Hockey Drops Tight Contest with Lehigh
September 08, 2018 | Field Hockey
Michelle Shampton scores first goal of season in 2-1 defeat
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.
Michelle Shampton scored the Cardinals' goal in the 37th minute, connecting on a penalty corner entry pass from Rachel Pereira.
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.
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.
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.
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.
