The Mountain Hawks are 21-4 (12-1 PL) and the Bison are 14-10 (9-4 PL).Â
Lehigh picked up its 10th straight victory in a 69-59 overtime win against Holy Cross on Feb. 15. The Mountain Hawks outscored the Crusaders 14-4 in the final five minutes to secure the win.Â

Stemmer is the third player in program history to score 200 made three-pointers. The Ann Arbor, Mich. native is averaging 11.1 points per game, the second most on the team.Â
Fifth-year senior wing Maddie Albrecht recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Albrecht was named the Patriot League Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 15.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, four assists and three steals in a 2-0 week for Lehigh. Albrecht averages a team-high 15.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.Â
Senior Remi Sisselman came up clutch down the stretch for Lehigh, scoring eight of her 12 points in overtime.
The Bison are on a three-game winning streak, having picked up a 62-51 victory over Lafayette on Feb. 15. Ashley Sofilkanich led the way in the win with a game–high of 20 points. Sofilkanich is the lone Bison to average double figures, pacing the way with 20.1 points per game. Sofilkanich leads the league in scoring.Â
