BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh Athletics has announced an adjustment to its 2019 football schedule, which was formally unveiled last week. Lehigh will now host Merrimack on September 28 at Goodman Stadium, in place of the originally scheduled game against Wagner.
The change was necessitated by the expansion of the Northeast Conference, to include the additions of LIU and Merrimack, who are both transitioning from Division II to Division I FCS. The NEC needed to adjust its league schedules to accommodate the new additions and the conference helped replace the home date against Wagner with the contest against Merrimack.
Merrimack went 5-5 last season as a member of the Divison II Northeast 10 Conference. The September 28 contest will be the first ever meeting between the Mountain Hawks and Warriors in football.
Season ticket renewals for the 2019 campaign will begin on Wednesday, February 6, which coincides with the traditional National Signing Day.
New season tickets will go on sale April 15, while mini plans and group tickets will go on sale May 13. Single game tickets go on sale June 17, which also marks the start of the ticket request process for the Lafayette game. Purchasing season tickets continues to be the best way to guarantee to the annual Lehigh-Lafayette game.
