Mountain Hawks return home to face Bucknell

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh returns home looking to win its fifth straight game against Bucknell Wednesday night at 7:05 inside Stabler Arena. The Mountain Hawks are coming off a strong defensive effort against their archrivals where they defeated Lafayette 66-51 on Saturday afternoon. The Brown and White’s defense held the Leopards to 39 percent shooting and forced 27 turnovers. Courtney Dentler came off the bench and contributed 13 points which included hitting all nine of her free throws. Bucknell has won two straight which includes a 55-42 win over Lafayette on January 20, and it followed that up with a 60-47 victory over Colgate on January 23. The Bison feature two of the league’s top rebounders in Cosima Higham (7.8) and Joyce Novacek (7.6).
