Lehigh women’s basketball head coach Sue Troyan announced the addition of three-student athletes to the program for the 2008-09 season on Tuesday.  The Mountain Hawks bring in two freshmen, one from Ohio and one from Pennsylvania, and a sophomore transfer from national power Xavier.

Lehigh held the Charles F. ’38 and Helen Marie Zell women’s basketball banquet on Saturday, April 12 at the University Center on the Asa Packer Campus.  Three Lehigh players captured awards on the evening, in a program that included dinner, presentation of four program awards, reflections from the program’s two departing seniors, and the viewing of a highlight film that looked back at the Mountain Hawks’ 2007-2008 season.

On Sunday, April 13 members of the Lehigh Athletics Department, including student-athletes, coaches and administrators along with Rich Wanninger, the Patriot League’s Associate Executive Director of External Relations, presented a check for $500 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation prior to the Mountain Hawks softball doubleheader versus league foe Bucknell.  The presentation took place at Kaufman Field on the Goodman Campus and came about after Lehigh was one of 32 winners nationwide in the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball “Pack the House” Challenge.  The NCAA awarded prizes and donated $500 to the nonprofit organization of each winning institution’s choice, with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation serving as Lehigh’s organization of choice.

With the Patriot League Tournament semifinal game tied at 44-44 and just six seconds on the clock, Bethany O’Dell sank two free throws to give Holy Cross the lead, and Alex Ross’ shot was blocked on the ensuing possession, as the Crusaders came away with a 46-44 victory over Lehigh.  Ross, Erica Prosser and Melissa Rich all had 10 points each to pace the Mountain Hawks, who end their season with an 18-13 record.

Sunday’s semifinal game of the Patriot League Tournament against Holy Cross has been moved due to an expected power outage in the West Point area.  The game is tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. at Ramapo College in Mahwah, New Jersey.  The game can still be heard on ESPN Radio 1230 and 1320 AM, as well as Lehighsports.com, with streaming provided by Yahoo! Sports.  Check Lehighsports.com for continuing updates.
