Bryan White's career-high 23 points were not enough to get Lehigh past Columbia Wednesday night.
White was 9 of 14 from the field and also had 2 steals and a blocked shot. But cold shooting in the second half proved to be the Mountain Hawks downfall.
After leading 34-31 at the break, Lehigh shot just 10 for 30 (33.3 percent) from the field in the second half, 1 of 9 from the three-point arc.
The Lions took the lead midway through the second half with a 10-0 run, then pulled away in the final four minutes.
Columbia followed its 50-percent (13-26) first half with a 12 for 21 (57.1 percent) second half. The Lions shot just one free throw in the first half, but went 15 for 20 at the line in the second.
