Looking Back
 

• Claire Beath scored the equalizing goal in the 82nd minute on Wednesday afternoon, giving Loyola a 1-1 draw at host American in Patriot League action.
• Beath's goal came less than a minute after American tallied the match's first goal.
• Yari Bradfield put the Eagles on the board when she connected inside the 18 on a long free-kick by Audrey Denkler at 80:48, staking American to a 1-0 lead with less than 10 minutes to go in regulation.
• The Greyhounds quickly rallied, winning a corner on their offensive end. Gillian Borton sent the ball into the box where it was knocked around on the grass before Beath struck a shot that found the netting to tie the game 47 seconds after Bradfield's goal.

Series History

• Loyola and Lehigh have met eight previous times in a series that dates to 1995.
• After Lehigh scored twice in the second half of last year's match, the series is tied 3-3-2 all-time.
• The Greyhounds' victories came during the first three meetings, including in 1995 and 1996 as Loyola defeated Lehigh 2-0 in each of those contests.
• The two sides wouldn't meet for another 10 years, when Lehigh traveled to Baltimore on October 3, 2006. The Greyhounds defeated the Mountain Hawks, 4-1.
• In their first Patriot League matchup in 2013, the Mountain Hawks topped the Greyhounds, 2-1, and in the 2014 season, the two teams played to a scoreless draw at Ridley Athletic Complex.
• Lehigh came out with the win, 2-1, in 2015 on the Mountain Hawks home field. Last year, the teams took 110 minutes and evenly split 20 shots, but neither Loyola nor the Mountain Hawks registered a goal in the match at Ridley Athletic Complex. The teams then played to a scoreless draw in 2016.
• Last year, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Lehigh scored two goals in the final 21 minutes Saturday for a 2-0 win. Lisa Kestelboym opened the scoring for the Mountain Hawks just under 70 minutes into the contest, and Maggie Wadsworth added an insurance goal in the 89th minute, curling a shot inside the top left corner from just outside the box.

Beath On The Board

Goal Outburst

Scoring On A Tough D

She one-timed a corner kick by Nicole Rivas that was headed on by Kate Reese past Army West Point goalkeeper Sydney Cassillia.
