BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The Mountain Hawks aim to string together back-to-back wins for the first time since December when Lehigh heads to Loyola Saturday. The Mountain Hawks will be coming off a lengthy break due to the postponement of Wednesday's game against Army. Saturday's contest will be aired live for free on the Patriot League Network.
The Mountain Hawks snapped a three-game losing streak in their most recent game last Saturday against Boston University, 67-54. The win was Lehigh's first-ever over Boston University, as the Mountain Hawks were also able to remain undefeated when hosting a pink game.
The Mountain Hawk defense allowed a season-low 54 points , as BU finished the game shooting 32.1 percent (18-for-56) from the field, 27.3 percent (6-for-22) from three-point range and just 52.2 percent (12-for-23) from the charity stripe. Lehigh shot 40.0 percent (24-for-60) from the floor and converted 16 of its 24 free throw attempts.
Sophomore Elizabeth Sharlow tallied her second career double-double with 14 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. Junior Sarah Williams tallied 12 points and a team-leading six assists, while sophomore Kerry Kinek posted 11 points.
Loyola won the first meeting of the season, 70-64, in Bethlehem.
The Greyhounds look to snap their three-game losing streak and pick up their third league win Saturday. Loyola's only two league wins were against Colgate and Lehigh, which both came on the road. The Greyhounds hold a 2-7 overall home record and an 0-5 league home mark.
Loyola fell 63-38 on the road against American on Wednesday evening. Senior Nicole Krusen led with a team-best 12 points, while freshman Lauren Daugherty chipped in an additional seven points and team-high seven rebounds.
Loyola trailed 36-19 heading into halftime despite shooting 50.0 percent (8-for-16) from the field. The Greyhounds made just three of their 20 attempted shots in the second half (15.0 percent). American shot 46.3 percent (25-for-54) from the field and 37.5 percent (6-for-16) from three-point range.
Junior Nai Brown leads the Greyhounds with an average of 15.9 points per game, but hasn't played in the last two games at American and Army. Sophomore Tiffany Padgett averages a team-leading 5.7 rebounds per game. Freshman Lisa Mirarchi has tallied a team-best 72 assists and 87.1 (74-for-85) free throw shooting percentage.
Loyola's average of 54.6 points per game ranks last in the league, as does the Greyhounds' 31.8 rebounding average, 10.3 assists per game and 4.6 three-point field goals made per game.
Lehigh aims to snap its two-game losing streak to the Greyhounds Saturday. Loyola claimed its first-ever Patriot League win during the season's first meeting in Bethlehem.
Lehigh couldn't hold on to its second-half lead as Loyola used a late 10-0 run to claim a 70-64 win on Jan. 11 inside Stabler Arena. Lehigh clung to a 61-58 lead with 2:22 to play, but the Greyhounds erupted with ten unanswered points to grab a 68-61 lead with just 18 seconds on the clock. A Loyola jumper started the run and then back-to-back three-pointers from Krusen and Padgett gave the visitors a 66-61 lead with just 32 seconds remaining.
Sharlow led the Mountain Hawks with 13 points, followed by Kinek with 12 and a team-leading seven rebounds. O'Reilly finished with 11 points, which included seven tallies from the free throw line.
Loyola's Brown led all players with 25 points, while Krusen chipped in 15 one five three-pointers, including the go-ahead three-pointer with 1:12 to play.
Following Saturday's contest, the Mountain Hawks will return home to host American on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on Service Electric 2 Sports in the Lehigh Valley and online via the Patriot League Network.
