BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Senior Justin Jaworski and the Leopards found a way to finish off Lehigh in the final minute on Sunday night. Trailing 70-69, Jaworski came off two screens and banked in a runner in the lane to give Lafayette the 71-6 lead with 16 seconds left.

Lafayette will turn its attention to the Patriot League Tournament. The Leopards, who won the Patriot League Central Division, are the No. 3 seed and will have a first-round bye. They will host the No. 6 seed Bucknell on Saturday, March 6 at 2 p.m.
 
Lehigh inbounded the ball, brought it up court and called a timeout. With less than 10 ticks left, the hosts managed to get off three shots. The first came on an isolation play for senior Marques Wilson who missed a 17-footer. Lehigh scrambled for two offensive rebounds as the seconds slowly ticked away and settled for two off-balanced shots -- neither of which found the net. Tyrone Perry secured the rebound and the horn sounded.
 
The victory handed the Leopards a weekend sweep of the Brown and White and saw the them take three of four from the cross-valley rival during the Patriot League's abbreviated season.
 
Jaworski finished with nine points and was part of a balanced scoring effort led by freshman Kyle Jenkins. Jenkins had a career-high four three-pointers on a 6-of-7 shooting day from the field to end with a game-high 16 points. He added six boards. Fellow underclassmen Neal Quinn had the best of the post matchup; finishing with 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting to go along with a team-high seven rebounds. Perry and E.J. Stevens, who now needs just five points to become the 47^th player in Lafayette history to score 1,000 career points, both finished with 10 points.
 
Sunday evening's contest mirrored that of Saturday with Lafayette leading for most of the gam and Lehigh hanging around. Statistically, it was a story of "eights" in the first half, as the stanza featured eight lead changes and balanced scoring on both ends of the floor. Eight different players scored for each team. Quinn and Stephens had seven points apiece.
 
Things were knotted at 22-22 with six minutes to go before intermission when Lafayette put together a 14-6 run. That spurt included five points from Tomas Verbinskis and a four-point play from O'Boyle. Lafayette led 36-25 with 2:36 left. The Mountain Hawks' Evan Taylor hit two three-pointers in the final 41 seconds to close Lafayette's halftime advantage to 41-35.
 
It was late in the game before Lehigh managed to re-take the lead. With 5:39 left, Taylor hit his fourth three-pointer, giving the hosts their first lead (62-61) since the nine-minute mark of the first half.
 
Jenkins came up with his biggest shot of the day with 2:43 left, drilling a three-pointer on an O'Boyle pick and pop that pushed Leopards ahead 69-67. Wilson answered 40 seconds later, hitting his only three of the day and giving Lehigh a 70-69 lead.
 
With just a shade under a minute left in the game, Perry came up with a big defensive play, knocking the ball away from Wilson and out of bounds off Lehigh's lone senior. After an official review, Lafayette maintained possession, eventually getting a Perry three that hit the front rim. Lafayette was forced to foul Taylor after his rebound. He missed the front end of the one-and-one and set the stage for Jaworski's heroics.
