Lehigh shoots down Black Knights
Jose Olivero and Marquis Hall combined for 50 points as the Mountain Hawks avenged an earlier loss at West Point.

Olivero posted 30, Hall added 20 to lead Lehigh to a 75-64 win in Stabler Arena, where Lehigh is now 9-2 on the season. The Hawks opened the game with an 11-0 run and rode that cushion the rest of the way.

The win gives Lehigh (11-14 overall, 6-4 Patriot) a two-game lead on surging Colgate in the race for third place in the conference, pending the outcome of the Raiders game this afternoon against American.

Jarrell Brown led Army with 23 points, but it took the Black Knights star 21 shots to do it. Brown was 7 of 21 from the field, typical of the way Army shot as a team (23 of 58, 39.7 percent from the field, 8 of 20 from three-point range). Matt Bell added 11 points and 6 assists for Army, which lost for the fifth straight game. Army (13-12, 3-7) is now 2-9 on the road this season.

Lehigh shot 48.8 percent (21 of 43) from the field and made 7 of 15 from the arc. The Hawks also benefitted from going to the foul line 37 times, where they made 26. Army only shot 16 free throws, making 10.

Olivero scored 15 of his points at the charity stripe (on 19 free throws) and was 6 for 11 from the field. Hall was 9 for 15 from the field. Bryan White grabbed 12 rebounds for Lehigh, which held a 35-30 edge on the boards.
