Lehigh at Fairfield
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Interstat) — Two teams coming off impressive road upsets, Lehigh and Fairfield, will put their undefeated records on the line Saturday when the Mountain Hawks visit the Stags at Webster Bank Arena.
The nonconference women’s basketball matchup features early-season momentum for both squads. Lehigh (1-0) opened its season with an 88-85 victory at Cincinnati on Tuesday. The Mountain Hawks were led by a high-scoring duo: Whitney Lind poured in 26 points and Jessie Ozzauto added 25 points and seven rebounds.
Fairfield (1-0) also started its campaign with a statement win, defeating Villanova 75-63 on the road Wednesday. Meghan Andersen powered the Stags with a dominant 35-point, 7-rebound performance.
The game will be a test of offensive firepower, with both teams showcasing potent scorers in their season openers. Lehigh’s backcourt of Lind and Ozzauto will be challenged by Fairfield’s Andersen, who presents a significant matchup problem.
Following this contest, Lehigh will host La Salle on Nov. 11. Fairfield’s next game is against South Florida on Nov. 13 in Las Vegas.
