BRONX, N.Y. — The St. Joseph's University, N.Y. – Brooklyn men's basketball team endured a 60-81 defeat to Lehman College on Tuesday evening.
How it Happened
Despite being placed in an early 10-point hole, the Bears managed to hold a one-point edge on a Chris Williams (Trenton, N.J.) three-pointer midway through the first half, 18-17. A 13-1 run paced the Lightning to a 31-19 lead. St. Joseph's came within two possessions shortly thereafter but were unable to keep pace with Lehman as the hosts led 42-28 at the half.
