LEHIGH 77 LAFAYETTE 69

[ngineer]

Mountain Hawks bolted out to big lead and then held on to move to 4-1 in the Patriot League, tied with Bucknell behind 5-0 Holy Cross. Lehigh travels to Bucknell on Tuesday, Holy Cross next Saturday. Hot-shot freshman Marquis Hall scored 24.:hurray:

I grudgingly send my congrats...now explain why Marquis Hall's parents would name him after a dorm on Lafayette's campus...hahahaha...

Ok let me just get it straight for my knowledge. How are you suppose to pronounce Lehigh and Lafayette?

I'll do my best here:

Lee-high


Lafayette is a litte more complicated/open to discussion...I think I say it like this: La-fee-yette...(although when we sang the alma mater in the college choir, we sang it as: la-fi-ette) it's not laugh-ee-ette, but I guess it could be la-fay-ette (long "a" song in the middle syllable)...sorry because I'm sure this isn't clear, but it's tough to type it how I say it...

That's the problem with being named after a Frenchman...;)
Yes, I thought it ironic that Hall's first name is Marquis, and odd the neither newspaper has picked up on it...W

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Big win for the 'Hawks yesterday over the 'Pards. Sure doesn't ease the pain of that certain loss in November but a win over Lafayette is to be enjoyed none-the-less. Lehigh's playing a helluva lot better than my Owls are that's for sure. We lost yesterday to make it 6 losses in 7 games. : smh :
