The Lightning men will open the double header at 5:00 pm against the Cardinals.  Both teams stepped out of conference play on Monday night.  Lehman defeated St. Joseph's (LI) 86-71 to move to 10-8 while York fell to Ramapo 97-63 to fall to 2-16.  Vince Young led a balanced scoring attack for the Lightning as the sharp shooter scored 14 points on 6 of 7 shooting from the field.  Andrew Utate added 13 points while Mylo Mitchell and Damian Bellamy tallied 12 apiece.  Newcomer Juan Carlos Guzman Nieves chipped in 10 points.  Four players are averaging double figures for the Cardinals.  York is being led by Edwin Sainvil 17.7 ppg, Rayn Smart 13.4 ppg, Jean Joseph 12 ppg and Ryan St. John 11.2 ppg.  Earlier this season the Lightning defeated York 69-59 in Jamaica.  Lehman battled back from an eight point deficit to win by double figures thanks in part to a season high 30 points by Mylo Mitchell. 

The Lightning women had their seven game winning streak snapped by #2 Amherst College on Monday night.  Despite 21 points from Amely Del Rosario, Lehman came out on the short end and fell to 10-8.  In case you missed it, Del Rosario garnering national attention as she was mentioned in Newsweek and in Sports Illustrated Faces in the Crowd.  Last week the Cardinals snapped a 10 game skid with a 62-54 victory over Medgar Evers.  York was forced to play the final three plus minutes with four players due to foul trouble.  Sheahna Rosche led the Cardinals with 20 points and nine rebounds.  Evanda Redwood added 17 points and six rebounds in the victory.  The teams met three weeks ago in Jamaica with Lehman running away with a 74-45 victory.  Lynda Fields led the Lightning with 25 points while Del Rosario netted 22 points.  Krystal Pearson came off the bench to add a double double with 10 points and 14 rebounds.
