The Lehigh Mount Hawks is the opponent today, and they are soaring.
Lehigh has opened the season a perfect 4-0 and have had a different player lead their high powered offense in scoring each game. That offense averaging 77 points per game is a perfect complement to their stingy defense which has held opponent to 61 points resulting in an impressive +16 points differential in their favor. Despite their balance the offense looks to 5’10” guard Ella Stemmer as possibly their first, best option. She leads the team in scoring average 15.1 and shots taken by a large margin. Bench players Behar and Lind are third and fourth respectively in scoring average for the “Hawks. Behar is 6 for 10 from 3 to start the season. Starter Lily Fandry is the only other player shooting over 30% from 3. Clearly the question for the Foxes is how do they sufficiently ground the high flying ‘Hawks offense to make a game of it.

Lehigh looks better than I think they are with that record. Their actual offensive stats aren't great. They average more turnovers than assists and shoot poorly from field and 3 pt range. Hopefully red foxes get off to a hot start and play good team defense. Lehigh has a lot of players who get involved in box score, but at least going by stat sheet, they are beatable for maac teams, especially when we are at home. Would be very nice win, and a really good start to season to go 3-1.

Could have been worse. Need to make layups and head back to the hotel and get the defense they left there.

32-34 at half, apparently a very good 2nd quarter.

Giving up 25 points and 30 points in a quarter doesn’t bode well for our defense

32-34 at half, apparently a very good 2nd quarter. More of a horrendous shooting 2nd quarter for Lehigh. Lehigh got their mojo back in the third and is erasing the Foxes by 13 as the 3rd comes to an end.

Corsentino is a keeper. That’s about the best thing I can say about the first 4 games of the season. Hopefully they can get Fisher and Tompkins back in the lineup asap.

Lehigh is good - and tomorrow is a winnable game - just bounce back

2 made baskets in the 4th quarter just ain't it. Especially when you're all apparently allergic to defense.
I also think they will regret playing Shazer 37 minutes in a lost cause when they have to turn around and go again tomorrow.
