The Mountain Hawks will open the dual season on Thursday, September 8 when they host Binghamton inside Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall at 7 p.m.

The Patriot League tournament, hosted by Navy, is currently scheduled to take place as scheduled. Should Lehigh advance, the championship game is set for 2 p.m. Sunday.

Swimming and Diving (Updated Thursday Afternoon) – The Mountain Hawks were scheduled to compete at Rider, Saturday at 1 p.m. but that meet has been postponed due to facility damage on the Rider Campus. A make-up date has not yet been announced. Lehigh will return to action at the Princeton Invitational November 9-10 in New Jersey.
Men's Soccer – Lehigh will wrap-up its regular season and potentially secure a postseason berth when the Mountain Hawks play at Army Saturday night. The game is set for a 7:30 p.m. start and is currently on as scheduled.
Lehigh Athletics will continue to provide updates with any changes that may arise to currently scheduled competitions.
Any family, friends or fans traveling to Lehigh competitions this weekend, both home and away, are encouraged to check road status with state or local highway services before departing. The damage done by Hurricane Sandy has forced numerous road closures and route changes throughout the northeast.
