BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh (6-7, 2-0) will travel to Worcester, Mass., to take on Holy Cross (8-5, 2-0) in a battle of the only undefeated teams in early Patriot League play. The game is set for Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Hart Arena and will be streamed on ESPN+.
The Mountain Hawks are fresh off a 74-43 victory over Bucknell on Saturday. Lehigh carried its hot shooting from its Patriot League opener win against Army into the game. After shooting 52% from the field and 50% from 3-point range against the Black Knights, the Mountain Hawks shot 49% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc in the win over Bucknell.
First-year Leia Edwards tallied her third double-double of the season on Saturday, finishing with 24 points and 10 rebounds. She shot 7-of-13 from the field and was perfect from the free-throw line, making all seven attempts. Edwards was named Patriot League Rookie of the Week for the fourth time this season yesterday after scoring 10 points in Wednesday's win over Army and then leading the team with 24 points and 10 rebounds in Saturday's victory over Bucknell.
Whitney Lind, Belle Bramer and Lily Fandre all scored in double figures for the Mountain Hawks in the win against Bucknell. Lind finished with 10 points, Bramer added 11, and Fandre scored 14 points, knocking down three 3-pointers. Fandre now sits just five points shy of becoming the 25th player in program history to reach 1,000 career points. In addition to Leia Edwards claiming Patriot League Rookie of the Week, Fandre received an honorable mention after scoring 18 points at Army West Point and 14 against Bucknell.
Holy Cross enters the matchup with an 8-5 overall record and a 2-0 mark in Patriot League play, with wins over Navy and Bucknell. Meg Cahalan ranks fourth in the conference in scoring, averaging 15.8 points per game, while Kaitlyn Flanagan leads the league in assists at 4.2 per game and contributes 9.3 points per contest. Last season, Lehigh swept Holy Cross in their two regular season matchups and beat them in the Patriot League semifinals.
