BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Following strong 2019-20 regular seasons, Lehigh men's basketball senior Jordan Cohen has been named third team All-Patriot League for a second straight season while freshman Reed Fenton was named to the All-Rookie Team. Cohen leads the Mountain Hawks in scoring, averaging a career-high 14.0 points per game. Meanwhile, Fenton has been a strong contributor all year, averaging 6.9 points and 2.4 rebounds, playing in all 30 games (with 27 starts).
 
Cohen stands near the top of the Patriot League in scoring (10th, 14.0/game), assists (fourth, 4.0/game), free throw percentage (second, 84.3), steals (sixth, 1.3), 3-point percentage (seventh, 38.2) and assist/turnover-ratio (third, 1.3). Cohen has reached double-figure scoring on 22 occasions, scoring 20 points six times and 30 points once. Cohen posted a career-high 34 points on Jan. 22 at Holy Cross. Another highlight came at Auburn when he scored his 1,000th career point. As a junior, Cohen finished third on the Mountain Hawks in scoring, averaging 13.6 points per game, to earn third team All-Patriot League for the first time. Cohen finished the year second in the Patriot League in 3-point percentage (47.5, 47-of-99), which would have been top five nationally if he had enough attempts to qualify.
 
Cohen has already been named CoSIDA Academic All-District (for a second straight season), and named a candidate for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award.
 
Lehigh's first All-Rookie Team member since Kyle Leufroy in 2015-16, Fenton has been a key contributor all season. He has reached double-figure points on seven different occasions, led by a career-high 19 points in a home win over Loyola. He also scored 18 points at home vs. Army West Point and 15 a few weeks later at Army. Fenton is also an important part of Lehigh's defense, leading the Mountain Hawks in charges taken (8).
 
Cohen, Fenton and the eighth-seeded Mountain Hawks are set to begin the Patriot League Tournament on Tuesday when they host ninth-seeded Loyola in the first round. Opening tipoff is set for 7 p.m. The first 200 students Tuesday night receive FREE admission courtesy of student auxiliary services.
