Vlad Moldoveanu made a free throw with 2 seconds left as American edged Lehigh 62-61 on Sunday.
With the score tied at 61 and only 5 seconds left, Troy Brewer — who led American with 17 points — shot a jumper that missed. Moldoveanu got the offensive rebound and was fouled by Lehigh's Jordan Hamilton. Moldoveanu, who had 13 points for the Eagles (16-7, 6-2 Patriot League), made the first and missed the second.
C.J. McCollum, who led the Mountain Hawks (12-11, 3-5) with 21 points, grabbed his 10th rebound on the missed free throw, but his desperation heave at the buzzer missed.
