BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Mountain Hawks will look to make it two straight wins, when they host Ohio Monday night at Stabler Arena. Lehigh is coming off its highest offensive output of the season, putting up 73 points and a season best .460 shooting percentage in a 73-58 victory over NJIT Saturday afternoon at Stabler Arena. The Mountain Hawks were led by Alex Ross, who scored a career high 24 points and tied her career high with five three-point field goals made. The team also recorded season highs in rebounds (46), rebounding margin (+15), field goals (29), assists (21), and blocks (7). Haly Crites led the blocking effort, tying her career high with three blocks, while Claire Sullivan and Erica Prosser each recorded a season high six assists; the six assists were also a career high for Prosser.
The Bobcats are coming off a 69-55 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. Lauren Kohn led the way with 12 points, and Jennifer Poff and Jennifer Bushby each contributed with 11 points. Ohio shot just .288 (19-66) from the field and .176 (3-17) from three-point range for the game. The Bobcats were able to keep the game close, staying within 10 points with just over two minutes to play, but the Panthers scored a couple of late baskets to come away with the victory.
Lehigh and Ohio meet for just the second time in school history. The Bobcats won last year’s meeting, 57-40, in Athens, Ohio. Melissa Rich led the Mountain Hawks on offense with a team high 16 points.
