Five things you need to know:
1. WALKER WITH ANOTHER HONOR
On Monday, rookie
Bootsie Walker was named the PSAC East Freshman of the Week for the second consecutive week. Last week, Walker averaged 16.5 points and 10 rebounds per game in a pair of wins.
2. ON TOP
Wali Hepburn's game-high 18 points at Cheyney on Saturday helped him take over the scoring lead in the PSAC as he's averaging 21.8 points per game.
3. FOUR IN A ROW
Saturday's win at Cheyney marked Lock Haven's fourth straight. It marks Lock Haven's first four-game win streak since the 2000-01 season. LHU hasn't won five straight since the team started 9-0 in 1989-90.
4. WINNING WAYS
The Bald Eagles, who won six games all of last season are now 12-6 overall and 5-3 in PSAC East play. Lock Haven sits tied with preseason favorite West Chester in third in the standings. Both teams have identical records. The Haven's 12 wins are the most since LHU won 12 (12-15 overall) in 2006-07. Lock Haven hasn't won 13 games since the 1994-95 season.
5. EVERYONE'S IN
Lock Haven's 12 wins are no fluke and a result of a total team effort every night. Along with the solid play of Hepburn and Walker, Lock Haven is getting 13 points and 7.4 rebounds a game from
Kasheef Festus.
Nate Walters is also chipping in with 7.3 points per game. The list goes on as the Bald Eagles role players continue to impress as well.
