BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Enjoying impressive success on and off the court, Lehigh men's basketball juniors Pat Andree and Jordan Cohen were each named to the Academic All-Patriot League team on Wednesday. For a second straight year, Andree and Cohen comprise two of the five players on the team as both have played key roles on the Mountain Hawks' success, while also owning GPAs over 3.5 in the classroom. They also become just the second and third student-athletes in school history to earn Academic All-League multiple years, joining Gabe Knutson '13 who did so three straight seasons.
Â
To be eligible for the Academic All-Patriot League team, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and be a starter or key player in his/her sport. Freshmen, or students in their first academic year at their school, are not eligible for the honor.
Â
Andree owns a 3.54 cumulative GPA in Psychology. Along with his 2018 Academic All-League honor, he has been named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll on multiple occasions for semester GPAs over 3.2. He's earned a spot on the Dean's List for a semester GPA over 3.6, and garnered the Faculty Athletics Council Award.
Â
On the court, Andree has thrived, currently tied for 14th in the Patriot League in scoring (13.6) and tied for sixth in rebounding (6.4). Those marks are good for third and first on the Mountain Hawks, respectively. He is third in the league in three-pointers made (68) and sixth in three-point percentage (43.3). Andree has scored double-figure points in all but five games he's played this season, beginning with a career-high 31 points at Monmouth in the season opener. He later had 23 in the Patriot League opener vs. Lafayette and 22 at home vs. Navy. Andree has knocked down multiple threes in all but six games he's played in 2018-19.
Â
Meanwhile, Cohen adds Academic All-League to his third team All-Patriot League honor received earlier this week. Last month, Cohen was also named to the 2019 Google Cloud Academic All-District team and is now in contention for Academic All-America. Like Andree, Cohen was named 2018 Academic All-League, has been named to the Dean's List, has earned a spot on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll and has garnered the Faculty Athletics Council Award during his time at Lehigh.
Â
Cohen currently leads the Patriot League in three-point percentage (49.5, 45-of-91), which would stand second nationally if he had enough makes to qualify. He is averaging 13.1 points (fourth on the Mountain Hawks and 17th in the league) and 3.7 assists (sixth in the Patriot League). Cohen is averaging 13.6 points in league play, which is second on the team. Cohen's overall free throw percentage (84.2) is fifth in the league while his 1.3 steals per game are tied for sixth. He enjoyed back-to-back incredible games, scoring a career-high 32 then 33 points in consecutive contests vs. Boston University and at Lafayette in January. Cohen scored 14 points in overtime alone against the Leopards, scoring 21 of Lehigh's final 30 points for the game, all coming in the span of 7:58 (final 2:58 of regulation and five minutes of OT).The game after Lafayette, he hit the go-ahead (and what proved to be game-winning) three-pointer in the final two minutes at Army West Point.
Â
Andree, Cohen and the sixth-seeded Mountain Hawks return to action on Thursday when they host Army West Point in the Patriot League Quarterfinals. Opening tipoff is set for 7 p.m. in Stabler Arena. Tickets are available online and can be purchased by clicking here.
