BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh women's basketball will hit the road for a Tuesday afternoon showdown against La Salle at 4:30 p.m. at John Glaser Arena. The Mountain Hawks will look to extend their win streak to four games. Lehigh comes into Tuesday's game with a 4-1 record and the Explorers are 3-3.Â
Lehigh defeated Hostra 80-61 in its most recent meeting on Nov. 22 after four Mountain Hawks finished in double figures. Fifth-year Maddie Albrecht paced the way with a season-high 19 points after going 7-of-9 from the field.Â
Albrecht has been incredible this season, finishing in double figures in each of Lehigh's first five games. She is averaging a career-high 16 points per game and is doing so effectively, leading the Patriot League in field goal percentage (57.4%).Â
Meghan O'Brien (14 points), Whitney Lind (11 points) and LIly Fandre (10 points) also finished in double figures against Hofstra. O'Brien and Lind both put up season-high numbers versus the Pride. As a team, the Mountain Hawks shot well, going 22-of-50 from the field (44.4%). Lehigh also connected on eight three-pointers and held Hofstra to 24-of-72 (33.3%) shooting from the field.Â
Tuesday's game will mark the second straight Patriot League opponent for La Salle after defeating American 69-60 on Nov. 23. Aryss Macktoon led the way, scoring a game-high 22 points. The Explorers are led by Ashleigh Connor, who is averaging a team-high 11.2 points per game. Macktoon is second on the team in scoring, averaging 9.5 points per game.Â
This will be the third straight season that Lehigh faces La Salle. The Mountain Hawks made some history last season in the 106-60 win, scoring the most points in a single-game in program history. Lehigh shot the lights out from deep, going 17-of-41 (41.5). Lehigh's 17 three-pointers made are the third-most three-pointers in a game.Â
The Mountain Hawks are 5-12 all-time against the Explorers. The last time they played at Tom Gola Arena in 2022, they suffered a 66-54 loss.Â
Tuesday's game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
Following Tuesday's game, Lehigh will host Marist on Saturday at 12 p.m. in the first game of the Christmas City Classic, presented by Joshi Hotel Group. Saturday's game will air on ESPN+.
