Lehigh has won four of its last five games, including a recent win over first-place Navy by eleven points at home. On the road against league opponents this season, Lehigh holds a four-and-two record but has dropped two of its last three away games. Only five Mountain Hawks players have logged more than three hundred minutes during conference action; Lily Fandre leads all Patriot League players with an average of eighteen point one points per league game while Whitney Lind ranks sixth at fifteen points per contest and fourth in three-point percentage (.418).
This weekend marks the twenty-ninth meeting between Boston University and Lehigh; each team has won fourteen times overall. At home, BU is eight-and-five against Lehigh. Earlier this season on January 14th in Bethlehem, BU claimed its first league win of the year by defeating Lehigh seventy-eight to sixty-four behind double-digit scoring efforts from Semenova (eighteen), Adler (fifteen), and Monteagudo (fifteen).
Looking ahead to their regular-season finale next Saturday (February 28), BU will celebrate Senior Day by honoring Adler and Semenova before hosting American University at Case Gym; tip-off is set for eleven-thirty that morning following pregame ceremonies.
