About Lehigh
Lehigh enters the game in a tie for third place in the league standings with an 8-5 record against league foes. That league mark is part of an overall record of 15-9. The Mountain Hawks have posted home records of 8-4 in all games and 4-2 in league games played at Stabler Arena.

The Series
Navy holds a slim 29-27 edge in the all-time series with Lehigh, with the Mountain Hawks holding an even slimmer 25-24 advantage in league regular season games played between the teams.

The Mountain Hawks also have a slight advantage in the series in games played in Bethlehem â€"â€" 15-13 in all games, 13-11 in league regular season games.

Lehigh's 51-48 win over Navy earlier this season snapped an eight-game winning streak by the Mids. That Navy eight-game winning streak came on the heels of the Mountain Hawks winning 9 of 10 games.

Including this year's prior meeting, the last three games in the series have been decided by a total of 12 points. Additionally, 14 of the last 19 games played in the series have been decided by single digits, with 10 of those 19 games determined by no more than five points.

A Look Back
Navy jumped out to a 21-7 lead over Lafayette and led by double figures for the last 32 minutes of a 64-48 victory by the Mids over the Leopards Saturday in Annapolis.

Lafayette scored the first four points of the game, but Navy responded by scoring the next 12 points as part of a 19-2 spurt to take its 14-point lead after the first 10 minutes.

The Mids were 4-5 from three-point range in the quarter and shot 61.5 percent in all from the field. Defensively, Navy held Lafayette to 3-13 shooting in the frame.

A run of three consecutive triples midway through the second period boosted Navy out to a 32-13 lead before heading into halftime with a 35-20 lead. Navy then opened the third quarter with a 10-2 run and later went on another 6-0 run to build a 51-28 advantage. Navy's lead would be 58-32 at the end of the third quarter.

Navy totaled 20 assists on 24 made field goals in the game. The Mids were 10-25 from three-point range for the game as part of an overall shooting night of 42.1 percent. Defensively, Navy held Lafayette to 32.7 percent shooting including a 1-14 effort from beyond the arc.

Sarita Condie connected on a trio of three pointers on her way to scoring 13 points, Taylor Dunham added 11 points, Ashanti Kennedy sbared eight rebounds and Justice Swett contributed six points, five steals, three assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 17 minutes.
