2023-2024 Schedule

[LU65]

SFU will visit us on Wed., Nov 29.

[Lehigh65]

We will head over to the Jersey shore to take-on Monmouth on 11/21

In addition to Providence and UNC it is my understanding that we will also be playing a team from Big10. And there is no other team in the BIG10 I'd rather upset than this one. I don't know if the contract is signed yet.....

I heard it is the "We Ares"...

[jimk72]

“We Are,s” is correct !

Incomplete, I'm sure well have 1-2 D3 tuneups

Another game of note is 12/21 @ Boston College

[Lu15]

Non Conference Schedule released today.

Penn State on November 10 and two d3 tuneups

[StablerBum]

Woof, that has to be among the worst home ooc schedule in the country. Tough to pick up quality ooc wins if you only have two D1 homes games.

Can't imagine it's doing much to drive ticket sales either. Doubtful they break 2,000 paid attendance across all four games combined.

[jimk72]

Does anyone know how this crappy home OOC schedule came about? Between Philadelphia and metro NYC there are oodles of D-1 programs on our level. NJIT, Wagner, Delaware, Lasalle, Drexel, Princeton, Penn, MD Eastern Shore, etc. Go out a little further out and you've got the entire CAA.....& the NEC ? ? ? ?

[lehigh90]

Apparently, the logic has become, we need to win a few OOC games, so for every good away opponent, you match them with a garbage home opponent.

This year has excitement for us fans, but you need to travel to see it:

UNC
Providence
Penn State
Boston College

Likely 4 double digit losses.

So, you match those with 3 absolute garbage home games, and one decent game:

Cairn
SUNY Oneonta
St. Francis
Cornell (the only watchable game)

Monmouth/UMBC/Marist/Cornell may be return games from last year, I can’t recall.

Apparently, Lehigh is so feared nationally that no decent team will come to Bethlehem (ha ha). Another face saving move by Reed and Sterrett for a dying program.

[jimk72]

I don't think its dying. But it could use an infusion from someone. There's nothing wrong with this roster. Recruiting in my opinion is as good as anyone in the Patriot League. Coaching and player development? El Stinko...... Losing Logie and Wyche really hurt. I had hoped the addition of Willie Jenkins would help. This is his third year.....hopefully we start to get more consistent and finally put a great year together. I truely believe we have the talent.

Attendance however is another issue. Stabler is a pain in the a** for students to get to. Promoting the games and offering better transportation for them would certainly help. Example: the Patriot league championship at Stabler against Holy Cross March 9, 2016. Complete sell out, 4,578 fans. I had trouble finding a seat.
