BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh plays its final game before taking a holiday break as the Mountain Hawks welcome the Marist Red Foxes to Stabler Arena on Tuesday evening. Lehigh was last in action on Sunday evening when the Brown and White fell 77-66 at Saint Joseph’s in Philadelphia. Four Mountain Hawks hit for double figures, led by senior Dave Buchberger and freshman Gabe Knutson with 13 points each, but Lehigh committed 20 turnovers and was unable to maintain an early 10-0 lead versus the Hawks. Marist enters Tuesday’s game seeking its first win of the season after the Red Foxes fell 70-52 vs. Binghamton in Poughkeepsie, New York. Daye Kaba led Marist with 11 points in the game, but Binghamton shot 57% from the floor compared to the Red Foxes’ 29% showing.
Last season, Lehigh averaged 5.5 made three-pointers per game, while shooting only 32% from beyond the arc. This year the Mountain Hawks are looking to reverse that trend as they are hitting on 37% of their shots from downtown and averaging 6.5 made three’s per contest.
In their game at Saint Joseph’s the Mountain Hawks recorded a season-high 11 steals, including a career-best five thefts by senior captain Marquis Hall. The 11 steals were Lehigh’s most since totaling 13 in the opener at Saint Peter’s last season (Nov, 2008).
Tuesday’s game will begin at 7:05 from Stabler Arena. Tickets can be purchased by calling 610-7LU-GAME, by logging onto Lehighsports.com or at the arena box office prior to tip-off.
