Bronx, N.Y. – The Lehman College men's basketball team won its fourth-straight game on Wednesday courtesy of a 93-68 triumph over Medgar Evers College in a CUNYAC contest from the Bronx.  The team improved to 12-4 overall and 7-1 in conference play.
 
The Lightning led by 20 points at the half.  They jumped out to an 11-2 lead to open the game and never looked back.  Luis Hernandez scored four of his 15 points in that stretch.  The guard shot 7-10 in the game.  Tevon Bennett totaled six points and Jean Marcial added a basket.  Lehman never relinquished the lead and eventually built a 22-point cushion in the half, when John Brens found Bennett on a layup to make the score 44-22 with 1:25 left.
 
The largest lead of the game – 32 points – came when Brens led another fast break and found Miguel Haboosh, who buried a three-pointer.  The freshman from Uruguay had 11 points.  Lehman won, 93-68.
 
The Lightning bench outscored the Cougars 44-16 as Haboosh (11) and Brens (ten) each reached double figures in scoring.  Paris Underwood also came off the pine to score nine.  Tevon Bennett earned the start and scored a career-best 18 points and reached double-figures in scoring for the second-straight game.  Clinton Akalonu had a strong game inside, finishing with six rebounds, three blocks and four steals.
