11/25/2024 1:04:00 PM | Men's Basketball
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh men's basketball looks to make it two in a row on Tuesday night as the Mountain Hawks travel west for a meeting with the Saint Francis Red Flash.
Lehigh (1-4) versus Saint Francis (2-5) has been a common matchup over the years, as the two have met consecutively every year since 2007 with the except of the shortened 2020-21 COVID season. In the span, the Mountain Hawks hold an 11-5 advantage over the Red Flash, but Saint Francis came out victorious 62-61 in last season's game. Overall, the Mountain Hawks lead the all-time series 12-8.
If Lehigh wins, they would earn their second win of the season and first over a Division-I opponent. Head coach Dr. Brett Reed's record against Saint Francis would move to 12-5 with a win on Tuesday night.
Lehigh earned their first win of the season on November 20 in the team's 100-53 home-opening victory over Valley Forge. Six Lehigh players finished in double figures, including Keith Higgins Jr. (20p), Ben Knostman (13p), Jake Pike (13p), Edouard Benoit (12p), Joshua Ingram (12p) and Tyler Whitney-Sidney (12p). The win moved Brett Reed's record against non-Division-I opponents to 14-0. The Mountain Hawks shot 55.9% from the field and 45.7% from three in the victory.
The Red Flash enter Tuesday's contest with two wins on the season, having defeated Campbell 65-64 on November 10 and Penn State Schuylkill on November 20. Saint Francis has suffered losses against Dayton, Clemson, Penn State, Mount St. Mary's and Georgetown. The Red Flash are led offensively by sophomore Bobby Rosenberger III, who is averaging 12.3 points per game. Freshman Jeremy Clayville and sophomore Ace Talbert average 10.7 points and 10.2 points respectively for the Red Flash.
Following Tuesday night's game, the Mountain Hawks will return home to host Marist on Saturday, November 30 at 7 p.m.
