Following the game, Head Coach Eric Harrison gave his thoughts.

“I certainly feel as though we're playing better basketball, but we still have to improve on a lot of things, and I feel as though the break will give us the opportunity to tighten up as it pertains to certain aspects of our game. It was a good effort by the players tonight, but William Paterson was just a little bit too strong. We'll break for the holiday and get ready for Amherst College on the 30th”

The Lightning will be back in action on Wednesday, December 30th as Lehman travels to Amherst College to battle the No. 2 ranked Lord Jeff's in non-conference action, with game-time scheduled for 4:00pm.
