BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh will play its final non-league contest of the season Tuesday night on the road at Philadelphia with a matchup against Drexel at 7 p.m. The game can be viewed live for free on Dragons TV.
Â
The Mountain Hawks (8-4-1) are coming off a 1-1 week with a 4-2 loss at No. 10 Virginia, followed by a 2-0 victory over Lafayette to pull within two points of the lead in the Patriot League standings. Reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week, Mark Forrest, scored two lead-changing goals, including the game-winner against Lafayette, last week to go along with a primary assist for five total points on the week. Will Smith posted 135:00 scoreless minutes on the week, including a 90-mimute clean sheet in the win over Lafayette.
Â
Lehigh is 5-3-0 in non-league games this season with a record of 2-2 in those games on the road. LU is scoring 1.88 goals per game against non-league opponents with a 15-12 goal margin. The Brown and White has one shutout in non-league contests this season.
Â
Drexel (2-9-1) has compiled a non-conference record of 1-5-0 and is tied with Northeastern for last place in the Colonial Athletic Conference standings with a record of 1-4-1. The Dragons are coming off a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to the College of Charleston at home on Saturday. The loss puts Drexel in perilous position for CAA postseason play, as they remain three points back of the sixth and final playoff spot with two games to play.
Â
The Dragons own a 21-14-1 lead over Lehigh in the all-time series. Outside of CAA teams and Philly's "Soccer Six" programs, Lehigh is Drexel's most-played opponent. Drexel has won the last three meetings, including a 1-0 victory in 2012 at Vidas Field. Lehigh's last series win was a 2-0 victory in 2004 in Philadelphia.
