BETHLEHEM, Pa. - After picking up a win Thursday in the first of two straight home games, the Lehigh women's basketball team will look to defend its home court when the Mountain Hawks welcome Navy to Stabler Arena Sunday at 2 p.m.

Lehigh is coming off of a big win versus Bucknell, defeating the Bison 64-51 for the first time since 2021. 

Frannie Hottinger, who has been incredible all year, picked up her 400th career rebound in Thursday's game. The Minnesota native has had eight double-doubles this season, her most recent coming against the Bison, where she had a game-high of 22 points and 11 rebounds. 

Mackenzie Kramer had 15 points and Ella Stemmer tallied 11 points against Bucknell. 

The Mountain Hawks are 2-1 in Patriot League play, while Navy is 0-14 overall and 0-3 in league play.

Lehigh is 34-33 all-time against Navy. The last time the Midshipmen played in Stabler, Lehigh scored 99 points, which is tied for the second-most points the Mountain Hawks have ever scored. Lehigh has won the last six matchups against Navy.

The only two common opponents between Lehigh and Navy so far were Rider and Colgate. Navy lost to Colgate and Rider, while Lehigh defeated Rider and lost to Colgate. 

Navy is led by junior Sydney Watts, who averages 14.7 points per game. 

The Midshipmen also have some talented first-years. Kate Samson, Maren Louridas and Shannon Clarke have all been named Patriot League Rookie of the Week. Louridas has earned the honor three times this season, while Samson and Clarke have earned it once.

Sunday's game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
