Rivalry 157: Lehigh wins 17-10
The game remained close - a one-score margin throughout - but Lehigh never trailed, striking first and taking a 7-0 lead on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Dante Perri '24 to Jack DiPietro '24, the game's MVP, as time expired in the first quarter. Lafayette tied the game on a one-yard run midway through the second quarter but the Mountain Hawks took the lead for good just a few minutes later when Johnny Foley '23 made it 14-7 after returning a punt blocked by DiPietro for a touchdown. A 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter by Dylan Van Dusen '23 capped the scoring. Read more about the game >
