Frosh Team at .500 Mark
An incredible triple-overtime
victory over Bucknell marked
Lehigh basketball play as the
Engineers (3-5) won three times
in five starts in a climb toward
the .500 level.
The Bucknell triumph, in
Lehigh's first Middle Atlantic
Conference battle of the winter
found the Engineers getting nine
points in the last 1:10 of the
third extra period to pull out a
73-71 decision.
Since an 85-66 loss at Maryland the Engineers have been
specializing   in  close   contests.
They edged Bucknell, traveled
to Delaware for another MAC test
and lost, 72-70, then returned
home last week for a pair of
non-league games in which they
topped Elizabethtown, 74-68, and
Drexel, 76-74.
Only the E-town fray could be
termed routine with Lehigh jumping off to an early 13-2advantage
and leading by 19 with three
minutes remaining. The Blue
Jays closed fast against Engineer
reserves, cutting the final deficit
to six.
Bucknell led 71-64 with 1:10
remaining as Hank Wisniewski
sank a rebound, Johnny Waters
added  a basket and free throw,
and Wisniewski dumped in another rebound to give the
Engineers a tie with 30 seconds
remaining. Bucknell missed its
final field goal try, Lehigh called
time with five seconds left, and
Wisniewski fought in for a lay up
with two seconds remaining to
cap the remarkable comeback.
Drexel led 74-71 with less than
