THE LEAD —  The Lesley Lynx came into their last NAC matchup of the year angry after last night's loss. At the same time, the SUNY Cobleskill Tigers looked to finish their regular season hot after a couple of game skids. Senior night got off to a rough start. The Tigers got off to an early lead, but the Lynx refused to back down. They retook the lead at half, but a late surge from Cobleskill ultimately doomed Lesley.

• Back-to-back fastbreaks and layups by seniors, CJ Leonard and Tarrell Joseph, put the Lynx up six in the opening minutes of the game.
