LEHIGH FOOTBALL PARTNERSHIP In April of 2009, Lehigh Athletics announced the launching of the Le- high Football Partnership, an extension of the Lehigh Athletics Partner- ship. This new organization will connect, engage and involve former football student-athletes in a sport-specific community that is aimed at supporting the current student-athletes at Lehigh, while also connecting former teammates with one another.

Pete DeLuca ’79, a member of Lehigh’s 1977 National Championship Team, will serve as the Alumni Ambassador for the Football Partner- ship. “The Lehigh Football program is important to me, so if we can steadily build a strong Football Partnership, the football program will only benefit from the ongoing engagement and support of our football Lehigh’s 1977 National Championship team reunion alums.”

DeLuca will work closely with Lehigh Head Football Coach Andy Coen as well as Bill Griffin from the Lehigh Athletics Partnership staff, in the planning, organization, and execution of the Football Partnership’s mission. Also involved in the organization’s infrastructure will be a Communications Chairman, an Events Chairman, a Career Network- ing Chairman and a Chairman of Program Support. Lance Haynes ’93 and Jon Stiegler ’98 have committed to co-chair the Communications role, John Shigo ’83 has signed on as the Events Chairman, Bill Trotter ’66 will serve as the Career Networking Chair and Joe Uliana ’86 is the Chairman of Program Support.

“It’s exciting to get this organization off of the ground,” explained Coen. “We now have a very well thought-out organization to keep our alumni engaged with Lehigh Football. As a program, we want our former play- ers to feel truly connected with Lehigh Football. This organization will 1950 Lehigh Football Team – first team in school history to post an undefeated season allow them to stay connected with one another and really stay plugged into what’s happening with Lehigh Football.”

RUST FAMILY FOOTBALL PAVILION On September 6, 2008, the Lehigh Athletics Department dedicated a brand new facility, The Rust Family Football Pavilion, named in honor of former Lehigh football player C. Keith Rust ’57 and his sons, Chip ’82 and Craig ’88, and his daughter-in-law Shannon ’90. It was the vision of Keith Rust that Lehigh have a place for football alumni to gather before and after home football games to celebrate the great tradition of Lehigh Football. Lehigh football alums gather to honor former head coach Bill Leckonby “Lehigh Football and the atmosphere that the tailgating experience brings each fall has been a big part of our family for a long time and the pavilion seemed like a perfect way to share that with fellow alumni when they return to Lehigh for home games,” Rust stated. “To be a small part of that tradition as it moves forward is pretty special to all of us.”

“Keith Rust has been one of our most consistent and most sincere athlet- ics loyalists,” explained Lehigh Dean of Athletics Joe Sterrett. “His commitment to help us realize the vision for a place that our football alumni can gather every fall is quite fitting. The participation of his family members makes this an even more special project as clearly it is also grounded in our value of family.” A large number of former Lehigh Football players and their families came back to campus for the dedication of the Rust Family Football Pavilion JIM GUM FOUNDATION James S.

ANDY COEN ON THE LEHIGH FOOTBALL CAPTAINCY “Every good football team must have leaders that their teammates can respect and look up to, and I believe our football team did an outstanding job when they selected BJ Benning and Matt Cohen to be the captains of our 2009 team. These young men have shown that they are very commit- ted to making themselves the best they can be, on and off the field. Their work ethic and determination is very obvious, and they were rewarded by their teammates. Every member of our football program will be counting on these two young men to provide the leadership this team will need to be successful. I look forward to working very closely with our captains as we strive to win a Patriot League Championship. I value leadership very deeply within this program, I expect my coaching staff to be great leaders and in turn they help foster leadership all throughout the program. If you play football at Lehigh you will gain an under- standing of what it means to lead.” 2009 Captains BJ Benning and Matt Cohen

Sophomore quarter- back J.B. Clark finished the day 12-of-22 through the air for 201 yards and two touchdowns and was named the game’s MVP, becoming the first Lehigh sophomore QB since Hall of Famer Marty Horn ’86 in 1983 to garner Most Valuable Player honors. The Lehigh defense registered a season-best eight sacks, led by All-American Brian Jackson who sacked the Leopard quarterbacks three-and-a-half times. A Heath Brickner interception on Lafayette’s first possession set Lehigh up with good field position and the Mountain Hawks capitalized with a 40-yard field goal by Jason Leo to take a 3-0 lead with 10:58 to go in the first. The Lehigh defense forced a punt which was knocked down due to the wind, setting Lehigh up at the Leopard 40-yard line. Following a key third down conversion in which Matt McGowan gained two yards for the first down, Clark dropped back in the pocket and found a wide open Mike Fitzgerald who made a nice move to avoid a Lafayette defender and scored his 11th touchdown of the season, put- ting the Brown and White in front 10-0 at the 7:43 mark. Lafayette got on the board for the first time on a 62-yard rush by Shaun Adair on a reverse play in which the senior made a great juke to the inside and then hurdled a second defender on his way to pay dirt. That score made it a 10-7 game with 5:34 to go in the first half. Early in the second quarter an errant Lehigh snap gave Lafayette two more points by way of a safety, which made the score 10-9. The Leopards then took their first lead of the afternoon on a 34-yard field goal by Davis Rodriguez with 9:50 remaining in the first half. The Lehigh defense began to make life tough for the Lafayette offense and got the ball back for its “O” towards the end of the half. The Mountain Hawks then put together a crisp, six play, 85-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard Clark to Nick Johnson touchdown pass that put the Brown and White in front 17-12 with 3:45 remaining in the half. Lehigh received the ball first in the second half, but was unable to do much with it, and so Lafayette took over with junior quarterback Rob Curley now under center. The Leopards responded with a long 15-play drive that covered 71 yards and chewed up 9:05 on the clock. The drive resulted in only three points however, as Rodriguez booted a 22-yard field goal bringing the home team to within two points with 3:13 left on the third quarter clock. The fourth quarter started slow, but Lehigh seized momentum on a beautiful 36-yard pass from Clark to Sekou Yansane on third-and-seven that set the Mountain Hawks up with a first-and-goal at the one-yard line. Senior Adam Watson plowed his way into the end zone two plays later, putting Lehigh in front by nine, 24-15 with 7:11 remaining on the clock. Lafayette was driving down the field and seemed poised for a score of its own that would have made the final minutes interesting, but Kennedy stepped in front of a Leopard receiver, picked off the pass and sprinted to pay dirt, sending all the Lehigh faithful at Fisher Stadium into a frenzy.
