Volume 32, Number 20 February 21, 1990 Bethlehem, Pa. Lehigh cagers grab first place Win over Lafayette gives Lehigh lead in ECC 3y TOM JAMES bouth Mountaineer Lehigh's super soph forwards Dozie Mbonu and Bob Krizansky led the way again as the Engineers downed Lafayette 69-65 Saturday night before 4,830 at Stabler Arena and claimed first place in the East Coast Conference. Krizansky (Hazleton, Pa.), on the heels of a career-high 32-point performance that landed him ECC Player-of-the-Week honors, scored 10 points and had 13 rebounds, tying another career best, and gave out six assists. Mbonu (Philadelphia, Pa.) scored 17 points and had 11 rebounds. Senior point guard Scott Layer (Hatboro, Pa.) had four assists and tied assistant coach Mike Polaha's Lehigh career record of 426. The 4,830 spectators, the largest on-campus crowd to ever watch an ECC game, witnessed Lehigh win its seventh game against four defeats and assume sole possesion of the conference lead. This the latest Lehigh has ever held the conference lead in any season. Also, the triumph was the Engineers' 15th overall. Only Lehigh's 1988 NCAA Tournament squad won more games (21). Senior center Tom Martin (Holland, Pa.) contributed 11 points and six boards to the Engineer cause. Lehigh came back after trailing 10-3 at the start to go up 32-29 at the half. Mbonu had 10 points, including four in a 9-2 spurt that tied the game at 12 with 12:38 left in the first half. Krizansky went to the intermission with eight points. The reserves claimed the second half for themselves. Navy transfer Neil Fenton (Latrobe, Pa.) had four of his six assists in the first half, but scored all eight of his points in the second. Sophomore forward Jerome Hipps (Alexandria, Va.), who had registered three consecutive career-high scoring performances, tallied seven straight points and highlighted an 18-4 run that gave the Engineers their biggest lead. 57-42, with 8:14 left. Hipps has earned the plaudits of Lehigh head coach Dave Duke. See MEN S BASKETBALL page 2 Forward Dozie Mbonu goes in for two of his game-high 17 points in Lehigh's 69-65 victory over Lafayette at Stabler Center. Mbonu pulled down 11 rebounds, second only to teammate Bob Krizansky's 13, to maintain his conference lead in that category. Photography by YOUNG HONG Lehigh women clinch home playoff opener By MARC GESUALDO South Mountaineer As the East Coast Conference tournament approaches, Lehigh's women's basketball team has to be pleased with its situation heading into the final 10 days of the season. Last Saturday night at Stabler Arena, the Engineers ran past Lafayette, 72-53, and clinched a home playoff game on March 1 in the process. The win completed another 2-0 week for Lehigh, following the team's 76-63 victory over Delaware Wednesday night. The Engineers raised their record to 17-7 overall and 9-2 in the ECC, good enough for sole possession of second place in the conference. The Engineers' 17 wins is tied for the third most victories in Lehigh history. The Lafayette game started out much like the Inside: first meeting between the two teams. The Leopards got out to a 12-6 lead against a sluggish Engineer team, and Head Coach Jocelyn Beck quickly called an early timeout. "We talked about making defensive adjustments and getting a little more aggressive," Beck said. "I didn't want us getting down by as much as we did in our first game against them." (Lafayette led by as much as 17 points in the first half of that game). The timeout proved to be vital for Lehigh, and a Sherie Androlewicz (Turnersville, NJ.) three-pointer several minutes later tied the score at 18. The Engineers then closed the half on an 18-8 run to grab a 10-point lead at halftime. "We were still stern with the team at halftime, though," Beck said. "We know that Lafayette's a good team and that they're capable of coming back just like we Segei Beloglazov, right, former Soviet wrestling great and new Lehigh assistant coach, watches his first American collegiate meet along with his two children. Lehigh coach Tom Hutchinson is at left. See page 3 for Penn State dual meet story and feature on Beloglazov's arrival. Photography by YOUNG HONG did in the first game." The Engineers, however, ended any thoughts of a Leopard comeback by opening the second half on a 16-2 run to blow the game open at 52-28. Lafayette could get no closer than 16 points the rest of the way. Sandy Hume (Whitehouse Station, NJ.) tied her career high for points by scoring 25 and pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds. She added 10 points and 10 rebounds in the Delaware game to help her earn East Coast Conference Player of the Week honors. Though the bulk of the scoring came from the seniors, Lehigh received strong performances from See WOMEN S BASKETBALL page 2
