Both athletes juggle demanding schedules, excelling in the classroom and on the court. They’re the kind of student-athletes any university would be proud to have.

Gracyn Lovette: A Dual Threat in Academics and Athletics

Leading the Patriot League in Assists

Top Five in Three-Point Percentage and Steals

Lovette also ranks among the top five in the Patriot League for three-point shooting, hitting 38% from deep. Defensively, she averages 1.6 steals per game, so she’s making an impact on both ends.

Postseason Performance

Lovette really stepped up in the postseason. She dropped 19 points in the quarterfinal win over Loyola and followed that up with 18 points in the semifinal victory at Navy.

Her clutch shooting from three—going 4-of-5 and 4-of-8 in those games—made a real difference. Sometimes you just need someone to hit big shots, and she delivered.

Scoring and Shooting Efficiency

Lind averaged 13.3 points per game, showing off her scoring touch. She shot 41% from the field and 34% from three, so she’s efficient and versatile.

Consistency and High-Scoring Games

Lind scored in double figures in 15 of her 23 games. She crossed the 20-point mark four times, proving she can take over when her team needs it.

Lehigh’s Successful Season

Lovette and Lind’s efforts fueled Lehigh’s strong 2025-26 campaign. The team finished with a 17-15 overall record and went 11-7 in Patriot League play.

Their performances helped Lehigh earn an at-large bid to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. That’s no small feat, and it speaks volumes about their commitment and drive.
