ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The winners of the last three Patriot League Women's Basketball Tournament titles will face off Monday night in the semifinal round of the 2012 edition of the championship. Lehigh, winner of league crowns in 2009 and '10 and the No. 2 seed in this year's event, will play host to Navy, this season's No. 3 seed and the defending tournament champions, in a 7 p.m. game at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, Pa.
