Tipping off the first part of Friday’s doubleheader at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa., the women’s basketball team didn’t take long to get heated up on the court.
Harry Perretta’s squad got to work right from the opening tip, barely giving Lehigh an opportunity to breathe.
The Wildcats left very little doubt early, springing out in front and slowly building a double digit lead, one that was able to sustain itself the rest of the way.
Villanova maintained its comfortable lead over Lehigh in a wire-to-wire finish against the Mountain Hawks, as it improved to 2-0 on the season after a 62-42 win.
