When a team concludes an eight win season and is disappointed with the end result, that program’s bar has been set pretty high. Such is the case at Lehigh University, where the Mountain Hawks have been looking forward to the fall of 2003 and the opportunity to climb back to their familiar perch in the national Top 25 and the top of the Patriot League – where they have won league titles and advanced to the postseason in four of the last five years.
Despite facing one of the toughest upcoming schedules in recent years, there is good reason for optimism on South Mountain. Five all-league players and 13 total starters return from last year’s team, which ranked second in the Patriot League in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Many other young players gained valuable experience in 2002, as Lehigh endured injuries to several key veterans over the course of the season. Set to enter his third season, head coach Pete Lembo is excited about the work ethic, attitude and camaraderie that exists with his returning group of student-athletes.
