New York, NY – The Lehman College men's basketball season came to an end this afternoon as the Lightning (9-17) were eliminated from the CUNYAC Tournament falling 65-63 to the Bloodhounds of John Jay (16-10). 
 
The Bloodhounds led for most of the first half.  Xavier Boyd gave Lehman their first lead of the afternoon after hitting a three pointer at the 8:10 mark.  However, John Jay enjoyed a five point advantage 29-24 at intermission.  The Bloodhounds pushed the lead to seven in the second half before Miguel Haboosh's jumper with 8:44 to play knotted the game at 49. The game was stilled tied with 2:59 to after an Andre Hampton jumper.  Trailing by one in the closing seconds the Lightning were forced to foul where Jordan Aikens made one of two with 10 seconds to play.  A Lightning jumper at the buzzer was off the mark and sent John Jay into the semi-finals where they will face CSI.
