While the Lehigh men exerted their dominance across all events by winning 13 of the 19 total competitions, the Lehigh women took a more unorthodox approach to beating the Leopards.

“We knew that we could do a lot of damage on the track, and we did,” Utesch said. “Where we did good stuff, we did great stuff.”
