BETHLEHEM, Pa. – After winning its 14th Patriot League football championship and completing an undefeated regular season with a 42-32 win over Lafayette in Rivalry 161, Lehigh learned its postseason fate Sunday.
The Mountain Hawks earned the No. 5 seed in the 24-team tournament. Lehigh has a first round bye and will host a second round playoff game at Goodman Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 6 against the winner of next Saturday's game between No. 12 Villanova and Harvard. Game time for the Dec. 6 contest is set for noon.
