Lehigh can attribute much of their success to Burke Chebuhar, who scored 14 points along with eight rebounds and two steals, and Joshua Ingram, who scored 22 points along with eight rebounds.

Not only did both teams in this Saturday's contest win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread.
