Bronx, N.Y. – The CUNYAC playoff bound Lehman College men's basketball team will be aiming for the top spot in the conference standing when it hosts Medgar Evers College in the regular season finale at The APEX Main Gym on Tuesday. Fans can follow all the action via

The Lightning (18-3; 11-2) are coming off a hard-fought 80-76 victory against visiting Baruch College this past Saturday at The APEX.
Gian Batista led the offense for Lehman as he had his second 'triple-double' of the season with 31 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
Isaiah Geathers added 19 points for the Lightning which now ranks him second in Lightning's All-Time History Books with a total of 1,364. The victory on Saturday also put Lehman tied for first-place with Baruch in the CUNYAC standings.
