Lehigh 65, American 58
(Originally posted Sat., 9:50 p.m., updated at 9:09 a.m.)

Lehigh used a 7-0 run to break a 44-44 tie midway through the second half and held off American, despite a 21-point career night from Paulius Joneliunas.

Jose Olivero had 21 for the Mountain Hawks. Joe Knight added 18. Together, the two Lehigh guards shot 19 free throws, making 16. The whole American team only shot 16 free throws (12-16).

The free throw line was the difference. American shot better (21-50, 42 percent to Lehigh's 17-48, 35.4 percent), had more points in the paint (24-16), more points off turnovers (15-13) and more second chance points (12-4). But Lehigh had the edge at the stripe, making 23 of 28.
