The Lehigh women's basketball team will look to get back on track Wednesday night as they close out a four-game homestand against Mount St. Mary's. Lehigh has gone 2-1 at Stabler Arena this season, including a win on Saturday over Fairfield in the Christmas City Classic, before falling in Sunday's championship game to La Salle. Down 21 points with six minutes left, the Mountain Hawks staged a furious rally to get within four with one minute left, before La Salle scored the last four points to hold on for the 69-61 win.
Sophomore Camryn Buhr averaged a team-best 16 points per game in the tournament to go with 4.5 rebounds and was named to the all-tournament team. Senior Quinci Mann scored 17 points against La Salle, nine of which came during the fourth quarter comeback attempt, and averaged 11.5 points over the two-game weekend. Freshman Mariah Sexe scored a career-high nine points in Lehigh's 56-53 win over Fairfield, and Buhr led all scorers with a career-high 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting.
Three of Lehigh's last four non-league games will come against a Northeast Conference opponent. LU has only played four games against the NEC over the last four seasons, all of which have resulted in Lehigh victories.
ALL-TIME VS. MOUNT ST. MARY'S
The Mountain Hawks and Mountaineers will meet up for the 10th time in program history dating back to their first matchup on February 24, 1976 in Bethlehem, Pa., which the Mountaineers won by a score of 63-60. The two teams have met at least once in each decade since the inaugural matchup.
Last year's win gave Lehigh a 5-4 edge in the all-time series between the two programs.
Lehigh has won the last four meetings with the Mountaineers, including last year's matchup in Emmitsburg, Md. by a score of 74-57. The last matchup at Stabler Arena was on Nov. 19, 2013 with Lehigh pulling out a 95-67 victory, which is tied for the third most points ever scored by Lehigh in a single game, and is the most points scored against a Division I opponent in regulation.
Lehigh has only faced Mount St. Mary's three times on the road, holding a 2-1 record in those games. Lehigh is just 3-3 against the Mountaineers at Stabler Arena.
SCOUTING THE MOUNTAINEERS
Mount St. Mary's is off to a 0-5 start to the season, which includes defeats at No. 6 Notre Dame and Xavier. Wednesday's matchup with Lehigh will close out the Mountaineer's five game road trip to start the season before they host Loyola for their home opener on Saturday.
The Mountaineers are led by sophomores Kayla Agentowicz (12.4 ppg) and Ashlee White (10.6 ppg). Agentowicz enters the game with a team-best 54.5 percent field goal percentage and is also shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc. Senior Katrice Dickson averages 8.8 points per game is second on the team with 3.8 rebounds per game. Junior Juliette Lawless leads the team with 4.8 boards per game. Senior Caroline Hummell is also one of nine players back from last year's squad and is averaging 4.6 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest.
Agentowicz scored a career-high 24 points in last week's loss at Fairfield, which is the school's only common opponent so far this season. Agentowicz has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games and is 17-for-27 over the last two games.
The Mountaineers were voted eighth in this year's Northeast Conference Preseason Poll.
