The American University men's basketball team will host Lehigh
this Saturday, February 6, in search of a fourth straight win and
looking to continue its 20-game home winning streak against Patriot
League opponents. Tipoff from Bender Arena is scheduled for 2:00

season but dropped a 78-67 contest at Lehigh on January 9, snapping
the team's four-game winning streak against the Mountain Hawks.
Lehigh currently stands tied atop the Patriot League standings with
Lafayette at 5-2 and holds a 14-8 overall record.

opponents to 40.4 percent shooting. American has also dished out an
average of 21.3 apg during the winning streak and outrebounded
opponents by an average of 10.3 rpg.
Junior Vlad
Moldoveanu led all scorers in American's 76-66 victory
at Lafayette last week, scoring 21 points to help the Eagles past
the first-place Leopards. The forward was 7-of-12 from the field,
5-of-6 from the line and added six rebounds, one assist and one
steal. Sophomore Stephen
Lumpkins, junior Nick
Hendra and freshman Daniel
Munoz each reached double-digits in the win, scoring
13 points, 12 points and 10 points, respectively.
Moldoveanu was named the Patriot League Anaconda Player of the
