Lehigh is road kill again
Mountain Hawks still searching for a win away from home

Just like his hot hand can keep Lehigh in any game, Jose Olivero's off nights don't bode well for the Mountain Hawks. Case in point: Lehigh's ugly 67-39 loss at Monmouth Friday.

Olivero was 1 for 9 from the field, 0 for 7 from three-point range, finishing with 7 points thanks to 5 for 6 free throw shooting. The 7 points are better than 10 below Olivero's 17.7 ppg average. It was the first time all season Olivero did not score in double figures. It is also Lehigh's most lopsided loss.

The Mountain Hawks were 5 for 20 from the field in the first half, 8 for 25 in the second, a combined 28.9 percent for the game.

The only bright spot for Lehigh: Freshman point guard Marquis Hall went 7 for 12 from the field, 4 of 7 on treys to finish with a career bext 18 points.

The Mountain Hawks are now 5-10 overall, 0-10 away from Stabler Arena.
