Lehigh University men's basketball team coast to easy win over Arcadia

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

Stefan Cvrkalj scored 19 points off the bench and Lehigh coasted to a 95-55 victory over Arcadia at Stabler Arena.

Cvrkalj, a freshman guard, made 6 of 11 shots and had his highest point total of the season for the Mountain Hawks (9-3), who had a much easier time against their Division III opponent than in their previous contest, a 70-69 win over Wagner on Saturday.

Lehigh shot better than 50 percent in both halves, finishing the game at 54.7 percent (35 of 64) and getting 46 points in the paint to 20 for the Knights (5-4).

Jordan Hamilton added 16 points and Holden Greiner had 15 for Lehigh. C.J. McCollum, who earlier was named the Patriot League Player of the Week, failed to score in double figures for the first time this season, getting six points on 2-of-8 shooting in 15 minutes.

Jose Figueroa led Arcadia with 14 points.
