Lehigh’s offense is once again expected to be powerful, with eight starters returning including three all-league skill players and 80 percent of the offensive line. Brad Mayes is expected to take over at quarterback and has performed well over his fi rst two seasons with signifi cant playing experience.

Defensively, the Mountain Hawks improved from 2015 to 2016 and will look to continue to improve, especially in terms of stopping the run. Lehigh will make some tweaks to its system, relying heavily on a deep and talented defen- sive line and a secondary that was an area of strength last year despite its relative youth.

With higher numbers this spring than in previous years, Lehigh is looking forward to a spring segment with an em- phasis on improvement through competition. The Moun- tain Hawks hope the competitive environment will have Lehigh ready to make a run at another Patriot League title in the fall.

The leader of the group is junior Dominick Bragalone, who with 1,171 yards last season joined Rabih Abdullah ’97 as the only Mountain Hawks to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards in a season twice in their careers. Bragalone had four 100-yard receiving games a season ago and rushed for 14 touchdowns on the way to earning fi rst team All-Patriot League honors for the second straight season.

Bragalone’s classmate Micco Brisker appeared in nine games to form a 1-2 punch with Bragalone. Brisker ranked second among Lehigh running backs with 209 yards and contributed four touchdowns.

The Mountain Hawks’ fi ve starters made 59 of a possible 60 starts to- gether last season.

Fifth-year seniors Zach Duffy and Brandon Short are the returning captains who will serve as a veteran presence on the offensive line and will continue to provide strong leadership for the entire team.

LEHIGH ANNOUNCES 2017 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (Feb. 17, 2017) – Six home games, including the 153rd meeting of ’s most-played rivalry highlight the 2017 Lehigh football schedule. The Patriot League champion Mountain Hawks will welcome a perennial CAA power plus the two-time defending Ivy League champions as part of the Goodman Stadium slate.

“It is important to challenge our program every year,” explained Coen, the 2016 Patriot League Coach of the Year, who enters his 12th season. “We always want to play the best teams from the CAA and the top end of the Ivy League.”

The 134th season of Lehigh football will begin at Goodman Stadium when the Mountain Hawks host Villanova on Saturday, Sept. 2. In the fi rst of three September home dates for the Mountain Hawks, Lehigh welcomes a Villanova team that went 9-4 a season ago and reached the second round of the FCS playoffs. The game will be the fi rst as head coach for Villanova’s Mark Ferrante, who replaces longtime coach Andy Talley, who retired at the end of last season.

“Coming off of our 11th Patriot League championship, it will be exciting to welcome what should be a nationally-ranked Villanova program for our home opener,” Coen said. “It will be an early opportunity to test ourselves against a strong CAA program.”

Lehigh’s fi rst road game of 2017 will see the Mountain Hawks head to West Long Branch, N.J. to face Monmouth on Sept. 9, in the Hawks’ second game at what will be a newly-renovated Monmouth Stadium. The Mountain Hawks will visit Monmouth for the fi rst time since 2013 and will be looking to snap a two-game slide against the Hawks, after dropping last year’s opener 23-21.

The Mountain Hawks will return to Goodman Stadium for back-to-back games against Ivy League opponents on Sept. 16 and 23. Le- high will entertain Yale on Sept. 16 and the following Saturday will host a Penn team that has shared the last two Ivy League titles.

One of the highlights of Lehigh’s 2016 campaign was a 3-0 mark against Ivy League foes, including wins over both co-champions Penn and Princeton.

“Our team will be excited to get another shot at Monmouth after losing our opener to them last year,” Coen explained. “We then come home to face two strong Ivy programs that we beat last year. Both Penn and Yale will surely be looking to avenge those loss- es.”

The month of September and Lehigh’s non-league schedule will conclude with Lehigh’s fi rst-ever meeting with Wagner, set for Sept. 30 in Staten Island, N.Y.

“Wagner has a very strong football tradition and has won several NEC championships in recent years,” Coen said.

The Seahawks went 6-5 last season and were 4-2 in the Northeast Conference. Wagner won the NEC and reached the second round of the FCS playoffs in 2012 also shared the NEC title in 2014.

Patriot League play begins Oct. 7 when the Mountain Hawks visit Colgate. Last year’s game, won 45-31 by the Mountain Hawks at Goodman Stadium marked the earliest Lehigh-Colgate game in 19 years. This Oct. 7 clash in Hamilton, N.Y. will mark just the third time that Lehigh will open league play against Colgate.

The Mountain Hawks will then return to Goodman Stadium to host Georgetown on Oct. 14, a game that will be followed by Le- high’s bye week.

Following the Oct. 21 bye, Lehigh will take to the road for key Patriot League games at Fordham (Oct. 28) and Bucknell (Nov. 4).

The regular season will conclude with back-to-back home games. Lehigh will host Holy Cross on Nov. 11 before welcoming rival La- fayette for the 153rd edition of The Rivalry on Nov. 18. The Mountain Hawks have won the last two meetings against the Leopards, including a 45-21 triumph in Easton last season, and seven of the last nine games in the series.

“We will close the regular season with two huge home games,” Coen said. “Holy Cross had some tough luck with injuries last year but I expect them to bounce back. The Lehigh-Lafayette game is obviously a very big game for a number of reasons.”

Lehigh is coming off a 9-3 season that includes the program’s 11th Patriot League championship and fi rst playoff appearance since 2011.
