BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh returns to action on Friday afternoon following a week-long break for the holidays, as the Mountain Hawks welcome the Towson Tigers to Stabler Arena for the first time since February 8, 1993.  Lehigh is coming off of a 54-37 loss to number-seven Washington on December 23 in Seattle, while the Tigers come into Friday’s game after suffering an 86-52 setback to Syracuse on Tuesday evening in Wilkes Barre, Pa.  The Brown and White has won its last four games inside of Stabler and is 20-4 all-time at home under head coach Billy Taylor versus non-league opponents. 

 

At 3.42 per game, Lehigh currently leads the Patriot League in blocked shots.  The Mountain Hawks tied their season-high with five swats versus Washington, led by Bryan White’s two, which was the seventh time this season the sophomore has led the Brown and White in that category.  Lehigh has recorded at least four blocks in seven games already this season.

 

Friday’s game is scheduled for a 1:05 tip from Stabler Arena.  Tickets can be purchased at the arena box office prior to the game.  The contest will be broadcast live in the Lehigh Valley on ESPN Radio 1230 and 1320 AM, as well as around the world on lehighsports.com with streaming audio provided by Yahoo! Sports.  Veteran Matt Kerr and Greg Falkenbach ’72 will provide the commentary.
