BALTIMORE (AP) Andre Walker scored 18 points, including the game-winning layup with four seconds left, and Loyola (Md) beat Lehigh 51-50 on Wednesday night.

With Lehigh leading 50-49, the Mountain Hawks Tim Kempton pulled down a defensive rebound and was fouled by Franz Rassman with 22 seconds left. But Kempton missed the front end of his 1-and-1 setting up Walker's game-winning heroics on Loyola's final possession.

Jarred Jones finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds for Loyola.

Kempton and Kyle Leufroy each had 10 points to lead the Mountain Hawks (3-11, 1-2).
