Despite Lehigh’s recent struggles, junior Adrienne Blount has come on strong, averaging over 21 points and nine rebounds per game over her last three.
Junior Emily Geosits has stepped up her play over the last three games. During that span, Geosits has averaged 11 points, three rebounds, and three three-pointers in 24 minutes per game off the bench.

The all-time series between these two schools is tied at 17 wins apiece. The Mountain Hawks had won the last eight meetings between these two teams, and ten of the last eleven matchups before the Mids put together their current two-game win streak. Lehigh has won four of its last five in
