The Lehman College men's basketball team opened the 2026-27 campaign with a road trip up to Keene, NH. Despite 24 points from Kesean Tracey the Lightning came out on the short end of a 92-73 decision to Keene State.
The Owls jumped out to a 13-4 lead and never looked back. The lead quickly went to double figures. Lehman was able to cut the deficit to 9 (41-32) after a Tracey traditional three-point play with 2:48 remaining in the half. However, the Owls extended their advantage to 13 (50-37) at the half. Lehman was able to cut the lead to 11 after a Michael Pierrelouis layup with 11:13 to play but were unable to get any closer.
Damon Brumfield came off the bench to add 13 points while Joel Ofori led the team with 10 rebounds.
This was the first ever meeting between the two schools.
The Lightning will host the Dolphins of Mount Saint Vincent in their home opener on Wednesday at 6 PM. Lehman will recognize the 2025-26 CUNYAC Championship Team in a 5 PM Ring Ceremony before the game.
