Bethlehem, PA - Lehigh takes to the road on Saturday afternoon seeking its first victory away from home in 2004-05.  The Mountain Hawks come in on a three-game winning streak, including a 72-61 win over Albany on Tuesday evening at Stabler Arena.  Head coach Billy Taylor is 3-1 versus teams out of the America East conference in his young career, including 2-0 versus the Seawolves.  Stony Brook enters Saturday’s contest following a tough 66-57 loss at St. John’s on Tuesday in Queens.  Mitchell Beauford scored 15 points, while Cori Spencer added 14 for the Seawolves who have yet to lose at home this season.

 

Lehigh has been able to look to its bench in the early going this season, and not lose a beat on the court.  The Mountain Hawks top reserves (Neptune, Smith, White, Gilfillan and Anderson) are averaging 56 minutes per game, while contributing 14.6 points, 9 rebounds and 4.2 assists.

 

After leading the Patriot League in rebounding at 36.5 per game last season, the Mountain Hawks are at it again, ranking right near the top of the conference by pulling down almost 37 caroms a night.  Lehigh’s season high came in its game versus Sacred Heart when the Brown and White ripped down 48 boards
