The hosts grabbed an early 10-5 lead after Remi Sisselman converted a layup off the fast break. The Maroon and White responded with four-straight points, cutting their deficit to just one point (10-9). After 10 minutes in Stabler Arena, Lehigh led 15-9.

Andrews cut Lehigh's lead to a point at the 7:40 mark, after knocking down a mid-range jumper. Not even a minute later, Andrews gave Lafayette its third lead of the game with a second chance driving layup. The Leopards led for the majority of the half, but an 8-0 Lehigh run propelled the hosts to a 33-30 lead at the intermission.

Both teams continued to battle in the early stages of the second half. Drummond tied the game at 36 apiece at the 6:27 mark in the third. Soon after, sophomore guard Sauda Ntaconayigize (eight points) drained a triple to put Lafayette back in front (39-36).

Donahue gave Lafayette its largest lead of the game (11 points) with 5:17 remaining, after going two-for-two from the charity stripe. McQuillen cut the visitors' lead to four points with 11 seconds left, but Donahue sealed it from the foul line. When the final horn sounded, Lafayette emerged victorious.

The keys to Saturday's contest were rebounding and shooting from downtown. Lafayette out-rebounded the hosts 41-33 and shot 33.3 percent from downtown. Lehigh took 34 three-pointers, but could only get nine of them to go (26.5 percent).
