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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.Â
Â
Loyola won the first meeting of the season, 70-64, in Bethlehem.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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. Tickets are available online, including a print-at-home option, or by calling the ticket office at 610-7LU-GAME.
