Bethlehem, PA – Accolades continue to pour in for Lehigh junior tight end Adam Bergen. On Tuesday, Bergen was recognized as an honorable mention ECAC All-Star. Tuesday’s announcement comes just one day after Bergen was named a first team All-American by The Sports Network, a national news service.
For the season, Bergen led Lehigh and ranked third in the Patriot League with 70 catches for 840 yards. He averaged 12 yards per catch, and posted a team-high six touchdown receptions in 2003. Bergen was also an All-Patriot League First Team selection.
The Mountain Hawks were 8-3 on the season, and 6-1 in Patriot League play. Lehigh’s only league setback came at undefeated Colgate, who will participate in Friday night’s national championship game. Lehigh posted its sixth consecutive eight-plus win season for the first time in the storied program’s history.
