Lehigh University women's basketball team ready for matchup against Duke in NCAA Tournament
The countdown to tip-off was on at Grace Hall in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night. "We're going to win. And that's the way this team has approached every single game," Lehigh University women's basketball coach Addie Micir said. Micir isn't surprised this team punched a ticket to the Big Dance. The Mountain Hawks will head to North Carolina as the No. 15 seed to face No. 2 seed Duke University on Friday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. "We played Michigan early on and Northwestern early on and we told our team, this is in preparation for the tournament," Micir said. On Sunday, the Mountain Hawks scored the program's fifth Patriot League Championship, edging out Army, and securing their spot in the NCAA Tournament. The team finished the season 27-6 overall. "I think our campus is getting behind us a lot. The community. All my professors are saying hi to me, saying congrats, so it's been really fun!" fifth-year senior guard Maddie Albrecht said. "Playing with these girls every day has been like a dream come true. I think they make it so much fun," senior guard and team captain Colleen McQuillen said. Team practices started last summer at Grace Hall, so Tuesday night — in the same spot — marked a full circle moment for Micir, McQuillen and her teammates. "It just goes to show that when everybody buys in and when we all have that hard work ethic — things can happen," McQuillen said. The team flies out Wednesday afternoon.

Lehigh surges past Army in second half to win women's Patriot League Tournament title, 74-62
BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Maddie Albrecht had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Colleen McQuillen and Lily Fandre also scored 13 points, leading well-balanced Lehigh to the Patriot League Tournament championship with a 74-62 victory over Army on Sunday. The Mountain Hawks improved to 6-1 in Patriot League championship games and will be making their fifth appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Lehigh outscored Army 44-30 in the second half after trailing by two points at halftime. The Mountain Hawks led by five heading to the fourth quarter and it was 54-49 with about eight minutes remaining. Five players scored for Lehigh in a 10-0 run that was capped by a 3-pointer from Fandre and the Mountain Hawks led 64-49 with 3:43 to go. Ella Stemmer added 12 points and Remi Sisselman had 11 for No. 1-seed Lehigh (27-6). Trinity Hardy scored 20 points, Camryn Tade 17 and Fiona Hastick 12 for No. 2-seed Army (24-7). Lehigh scored the first 11 points of the second quarter to go ahead 25-14 but the lead was gone by halftime as Army scored the final eight points of the quarter to go ahead 32-30 at the break. Hastick and Tade buried 3-pointers and Hardy added a layup in Army's closing run. Tade opened the third quarter the same way she had closed the second period, nailing a 3-pointer to give the Black Knights a 35-30 lead. Army was held to two points over the next five minutes and Lehigh surged ahead 38-37 on a pair of free throws by Whitney Lind. A 3 by Stemmer gave Lehigh a 50-45 lead heading to the final period. Lehigh is 43-36 all-time against the Black Knights, having won the last seven matchups, including three this season. ___
