BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh returns to action Tuesday evening, welcoming the Seawolves of Stony Brook to Stabler Arena, as the Mountain Hawks look to snap a two-game losing streak.  Lehigh, which has lost three straight games at home, fell to Princeton last time out, 64-54, despite receiving a career-best 22 points from junior swing-man Kyle Neptune.  Lehigh’s last win at home came on Febraury 6 when Joe Knight connected on a buzzer-beating three-pointer to top Bucknell 57-54.  Stony Brook arrives in South Bethlehem following a 78-35 loss to No. 5 Villanova on Friday evening in Pennsylvania in the Seawolves season opener.

 

Under Head Coach Billy Taylor, Lehigh is a perfect 3-0 in the game played before the Thanksgiving holiday.  The Mountain Hawks downed Swarthmore in 2002, 83-46, Stony Brook in 2003, 64-49, and Sacred Heart last season, 58-52.  All three of those contests were played here at Stabler Arena.

 

Lehigh has had no trouble in getting to the free throw line this season.  The Mountain Hawks have shot at least ten free throws in each of their games, including 33 versus Coppin State and 32 against Princeton.  The Brown and White are hitting on 71 percent of its shots from the stripe thus far, with a high of 82 percent versus Coppin.  

 

Tuesday’s game will be televised live on Service Electric 2 Sports and on Fox College Sports (FCS) with Mike Zambelli, Nathan Jameson and Rich Baksa.
