Lehigh-Colgat
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2022 3:54 pm
Nice W. 72-52. Fran back. Quite a bit rust. Steele still out.
A slow uneven 1st half. LU dominatedvthe 2nd.

Just my observations:
With Claire out and Frannie back, Lehigh went with an all-Minnesota starting lineup. I don't know if that happened before.
Harvey has filled in quite capably for Steele thus far, this time scoring 13 pts with 4 assists.
IMO, Lehigh caught a lucky scheduling break. Lehigh has only played 2 games since December 4 with finals and Christmas. Then there was the COVID incident when they came back and the necessary quarantining. Colgate is certainly on the bottom tier in the league this year at 2-11. With Steele still out, Hottinger having to shake off some rust 2 pts, 2 rbs 0-7 shooting and Kramer having a rare off game, I'm not sure we would have had a similar result against a pretty good American team.
We'll learn a lot more over the next 2 home games Army (which beat Bucknell) and then a very tough Bucknell team. I am awaiting news from Bison and the status of their girls who may have just suffered from the same layoff.
