Navy uses three-pointers to shoot down Lehigh.
Holy upset Batman, Navy beat Lehigh in Stabler Arena. The cellar dwelling Midshipmen came into the Mountain Hawks spacious concrete shed and left the 962 fans groping to find their way to the exits after shooting out the lights in a 70-65 win.
It was just the second home loss of the season for Lehigh (16-15, 5-4 Patriot), which saw its chances of catching Bucknell or Holy Cross for one of the top two seeds sverely damaaged after this one. It was Navy's first road league win.
Navy (12-12, 2-7) did it by building a 17-point lead and holding on. Up 39-28 at the half after hitting 7 treys and holding Lehigh to 29.6 percent (8 of 27) shooting in the half, the Mids stretched the lead to 55-38 on a Kaleo Kina three-pointer with 13:14 to play.
Lehigh battled back, getting as close as 3, but the Hawks could not get over the hump, despite Navy making just one free throw in the final nine minutes.
If there was a flaw in Navy's performance, that would be it. The best free throw shooting team in the league struggled at the line, making just 12 of 22 foul shots. The Mids might have been better off if the refs had allowed them to shoot their free throws from the three-point arc. They were 12 of 21 (57.1 percent) there. Navy actually shot better outside the arc than inside (11 of 20, 55 percent making them 23 of 41 56.1 percent overall).
Lehigh went 6 for 19 (31.6 percent) on three-pointers, 19 of 54 (35.2 percent) overall. The Hawks were 21 of 32 from the foul line.
The Mountain Hawks owned a 37-26 edge on the boards, and grabbed 17 offensive rebounds to 4 for Navy.
Trey Stanon Led Navy with 16 points. Kina added 16 and GReg Sprink had 10 points for the Mids, who scored 70 points against a Division I foe for the first time since they did it against Howard back on Dec. 4.
Bryan White had a monster night in a losing cause, putting up an 18-point, 15-rebound double-double. The 15 rebounds were a career high. Jose Olivero added 24 points for Lehigh.
