Lehigh wins one at the line
The Mountain Hawks used strong free throw shooting to end a two-game losing streak, downing NJIT 67-58.

Marquis Hall scored 12 points to lead Lehigh. Five of those came from the free throw line, where Hall went 5 for 6, including 3-4 in the final 1:44 to help preserve the win. Hall also had a career-high 8 assists.

No other Lehigh player reached double figures. The Mountain Hawks shot 42.3 percent (22-52) from the field, 6 of 11 at the three-point arc. But the real key was Lehigh's 17 for 23 showing at the foul line. That accounted for 7 of Lehigh's 9 point advantage on the scoreboard.

NJIT had almost identical numbers from the field (21-47 - 44.7 percent, 6-15 at the arc). But the Highlanders (0-6) went just 10 for 20 at the stripe. Lehigh also benefited from 19 NJIT turnovers.
