Lehigh Takes on Hofstra on Friday Night at Home

11/21/2024 11:21:00 AM | Women's Basketball

BETHLEHEM, Pa.  - Following a three-game road stand, Lehigh women's basketball returns to Stabler Arena on Friday at 6 p.m. to host Hofstra. The Mountain Hawks come into Friday's game with a 3-1 record while the Pride are 2-2. 

Lehigh defeated Brown 62-55 on Nov. 17. The Mountain Hawks were down by eight points in the fourth quarter but they outscored the Bears 23-8 in the final frame to come away with the win. 

Fifth-year Maddie Albrecht registered the first double-double of the season for Lehigh in the game against Brown, recording 16 points and 13 rebounds. Albrecht earned a Patriot League Honorable Mention on Monday following her performance.

Albrecht has been on a tear this season, finishing in double figures in each of Lehigh's four games. The Billings, Mont., native is averaging 15.3 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game. She's been efficient to start the season, leading the league with a 53.3% field goal percentage.

Senior guard Ella Stemmer (15 points) and junior forward Lily Fandre (13 points) also finished in double figures in the win over Brown. Stemmer tallied two three-pointers, the only three-pointers Lehigh registered on Sunday. The Ann Arbor, Mich., native has 157 career three-pointers, the seventh-most in program history. She needs just one more to tie Carli Toliver '05 for the sixth-most three-pointers in program history with 158.

The Pride are coming off of a 62-49 loss to Manhattan. Chloe Sterling registered a team-high 14 points in the loss. Sterling leads the way for the Pride, averaging a team-high 18.5 points. Emma Von Nessen (12.5 points per game) and LaNae Corbett (11.3 points per game) are also averaging double figures. 

Lehigh leads the all-time series 13-10. The Mountain Hawks last played the Pride last season, defeating Hofstra 68-56 on Long Island.

Friday's game will be aired on ESPN+. Tickets can be purchased here or by calling 610-7LU-GAME. 

Following Friday's game, the Mountain Hawks will hit the road to take on La Salle on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday's game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
