Two of the best defenses in all of FCS were in a showdown on a cold December day in front of a large invested crowd, and the result was a game that was one for the ages.
This weekend at Murray Goodman Stadium, the Lehigh Mountain Hawks (12-0) will be facing off against a foe that is familiar to them in the Villanova Wildcats (10-2).
The campuses of Lehigh and Villanova are only separated by about an hour by car – an easy drive up I-476. The wording in the Lehigh football game notes calls their game against No. 12-ranked Villanova a matchup of “regional rivals”. Though the Wildcats’ game notes didn’t return the labeling favor to the Mountain Hawks.
