Hempstead, NY – Lehigh dropped its second contest of the season Saturday evening at the Hofstra/Wingate Inn Holiday Tournament by falling to Hofstra 63-50.

Lehigh (2-2) was led by Matt Crawford who tallied 13 points and nine rebounds in just 24 minutes of action. Matt Logie notched 12 points, however, the senior from Mercer Island, Washington didn’t get on the scoreboard until the 12:00 mark of the second half. Zlatko Savovic led the Mountain Hawks with 8 assists, while Ra Tiah posted eight boards. For the Hofstra Pride (1-2), Kenny Adeleke did major damage to the Lehigh defense.
