Can the ‘Cats pick up their first win of the season at home against the Mountain Hawks?
Northwestern women’s basketball will face Lehigh in its second game of the season after dropping the season opener to Illinois State 81-77. The ‘Cats were without Caleigh Walsh, as they will be again this afternoon. Melanie Daley — Northwestern’s second leading scorer from a year ago — is without an injury designation, and we will see if Coach Joe McKeown lifts the minutes restriction she was under on Wednesday.
Lehigh is 1-1 in the young season with the one loss coming against Michigan by 31. The Mountain Hawks were selected to finish third in the Patriot League preseason media poll after finishing fifth in the conference a year ago with a 17-13 record (9-9 conference).
