BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Temple field hockey team (7-5, 3-1 BIG EAST) fell 2-1 at Lehigh Sunday afternoon, splitting the weekend. McKenna Burkhardt scored the lone goal for the Owls, her first of the season.

Recapping the Game
> Temple had two good chances in the first quarter to get on the board, but two shots from Tess Muller were kept from the net by Lehigh's keeper.
> The Mountain Hawks were able to convert both of their second quarter penalty corners to head into halftime up 2-0.
> The Owls found the back of the cage late in the third quarter, cutting Lehigh's lead with a goal from Burkhardt on a penalty corner.
> Neither team had much of an offensive spark in the final frame, with Temple unable to convert the lone corner attempt of the fourth quarter.

Statistically Speaking

> The Owls had a slight edge in shots (8-6), with Burkhardt and Muller's team-leading two shots each all going on target.
> Megan Ragusa recorded three saves and led a defense that successfully defended two penalty corners.
