Freshman Imani Dubois (Bronx, NY/JP Taravella) also had a double-double, with 25 set assists and a team-high 19 digs, as the Lightning (6-5, 2-1 CUNYAC) now have won four of its last five matches.
With the match on the line in the fifth set, Lehman head coach Wolfgang Lucena called a timeout leading 11-9. Lehman went on to score three of the final four points to seal the win. Sophomores Jo-Marie Aquino (Bronx, NY/Cardinal Spellman) and Cari English (Yonkers, NY/Cardinal Spellman) each had a kill in that stretch.
