BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh returns home for its final two home games of the regular season beginning with Colgate Wednesday evening at 7:05 p.m. in Stabler Arena. The Mountain Hawks will be looking to get their offense going after they scored a season-low 49-points in a 49-39 win over Army on Sunday afternoon. The Brown and White shot a season-low 28 percent from the field, but was able to step up its defense and out-rebound Army 45-32. Erica Prosser scored a game-high 15 points to lead Lehigh in the win. Colgate is coming off an 82-47 loss to American which ended its three game winning streak. The Raiders four Patriot League wins this season double their total from the previous two seasons.
In their first meeting against Colgate, the Mountain Hawks were able to leave Hamilton, N.Y. with a 57-45 win after an off-shooting night. Lehigh shot 35 percent from the field and only managed to hit two three-pointers. Courtney Dentler was Lehigh’s leading scorer as she finished with 12 points and six rebounds. The Brown and White held Colgate’s leading scorers, Tricia Oakes and Sami Kozlowski, to eight and seven points, respectively.
Lehigh is looking to win its 10th straight game with a win over Colgate on Wednesday. It would mark the second time in program history that a team has won 10 straight. The 1984-85 Mountain Hawks opened up their season with 10 straight victories before losing a game. Three other Lehigh teams have had nine game winning streaks: 2008-09, 1989-90 and 1985-86.
