Senior Jessica DePalo added 16 points for Lehigh, while classmate Chantal St. Laurent scored a career-high seven points and also handed out six assists, with zero turnovers. Sophomore Sara Ellis was the fourth Mountain Hawk in double figures with ten tallies. Lehigh connected on 45 percent of its field goal attempts and limited the Black Knights to just 35 percent from the field. Army was led in scoring by Cara Enright who poured in a career-high 27 points, while Shavonne Holden added 16 points and eight rebounds.
Lehigh led 39-27 at the half, after hitting 47 percent from the field, and holding Army to just nine field goals and 26 percent shooting. Lehigh then built up a 15-point second half lead that the Black Knights were able to cut into, eventually getting it to six, but the Mountain Hawks kept their composure down the stretch to pick up the road victory. The Brown and White out rebounded its opponent 45-36, but did commit 20 turnovers to Army’s 19. Lehigh hit on 16 of 23 from the charity stripe, but sunk only two of 14 from beyond the arc.
Troyan liked the way her team fought hard until the finish en route to the history making victory. “It was a physical game, they (Army) battled us very hard until the very end, but we never gave up and came away with the win.” Troyan then commented on the play of Hynoski, “Mary was huge for us – every time we needed a bucket, she went under the basket, got the rebound and bailed us out. A lot of people stepped it up for us tonight and it was just a total team effort out there.”
