Ellis got the Mountain Hawks off to a fast start, scoring Lehigh’s first eight points on a jumper and two-three pointers to become the 12th Lehigh player to reach 1,000 points for her career.
Lehigh went into halftime leading 40-26, thanks in part to Ellis, who finished the half with 19 points including four three-pointers. Callan added nine points and six boards in the opening 20 minutes.
The Mountain Hawks stayed on the offensive in the second half, extending their lead thanks in part to Callan, who added 11 more points in the second half to finish with 20 points and 12 rebounds, her 16th double-double of the season and the 21st of her career.
“Jenny has had a great career and it meant so much to the team to get her a win in her final home game,” said Ellis. “We came out determined to play hard for her and she was determined to go out with a win.”
Junior Adrienne Blount was the third Mountain Hawk to crack double figures, adding 11 points. Sophomore point guard Claire Sullivan added eight points, four rebounds, six assists and four steals for the Brown and White.
