SETTING THE SCENENo. 19 Lehigh takes to the road for the fi rst time in 2017 as the Mountain Hawks visit West Long Branch, N.J. to battle Monmouth at newly-renovated Kessler Stadium. The Mountain Hawks will be looking to bounce back from a season-opening 38-35 loss to Villanova in which Lehigh battled back from a 14-point halftime defi cit but ultimately came up short against the top 10-ranked Wildcats. Junior quarterback Brad Mayes threw for 406 yards and four touchdowns and junior Luke Christiano and senior Troy Pelletier both eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark to lead Lehigh offensively. Monmouth opened with a 31-12 home win over Lafayette. The Hawks have won the last two games in the series, including a 23-21 win in the 2016 season opener at Goodman Stadium.

LEHIGH HEAD COACH ANDY COENThe 2016 Patriot League Coach of the Year, Andy Coen is in his 12th season as the head coach of the Lehigh football program. He holds a career record of 77-50 and now ranks second in school history in career victories. In 11 years as the Mountain Hawks leader, Coen has produced 122 All-Patriot League honorees, 23 All-Americans and 219 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll selections. Coen has led Lehigh to four Patriot League Championships in 11 seasons. Coen was also named Coach of the Year in 2010 and is a three-time fi nalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, fi nishing as high as sixth in 2011.(Coach Coen’s complete bio can be found on page 14)

MONMOUTH HEAD COACH KEVIN CALLAHANKevin Callahan is in his 25th season as the head coach at Monmouth. The only coach the program has ever known, Callahan has amassed a 136-115 record and guided the Hawks to fi ve Northeast Conference titles before Monmouth moved to the Big South Confer-ence. Callahan’s last NEC title came in 2006, while in 2004 he guided the Hawks to a 10-1 record and the fi rst-ever I-AA Mid-Major National Championship as awarded by The Sports Network. Prior to coming to Monmouth, the 1977 Rochester graduate spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Colgate.

THE SERIESLehigh and Monmouth are meeting for the eighth time. The Mountain Hawks won the fi rst fi ve meetings before the Hawks claimed the last two, including a 23-21 win in the 2016 season opener. Lehigh has won both meetings in New Jersey, 49-24 in 2011 and 28-25 in 2013. These teams fi rst met in 1999, a 56-10 Lehigh victory.

THE LAST TIME THEY METBETHLEHEM, Pa. (9/3/16) - After battling back from a third quarter 14-point defi cit, Lehigh was unable to overcome a nine-point defi cit in the fourth quarter as Monmouth picked up a 23-21 victory in the season-opener for both teams at Goodman Stadium. Senior quarterback Nick Shafnisky led the way totaling 196 yards of offense coupled with a passing and rushing touchdown. On the defensive side of the ball, senior lineback-er Evan Kauffman anchored the defense with 12 tackles in his fi rst career start. It took Lehigh’s offense two and a half quarters to get untracked before rushing touchdowns by Dominick Bragalone and Shafnisky tied the game at 14-14 early in the fourth quarter. A Matt White fi eld goal and Lavon Chaney one yard run gave the visitors a nine point lead. A touchdown pass from Shafnisky to Sasha Kelsey got Lehigh within two but the Hawks were able to milk the last 4:09 off the clock. Monmouth held a commanding 37:38-22:22 advantage in time of possession.

WELCOME BACKLehigh returns eight of the 11 players named to last season’s All-Patriot League teams. Senior wide receiver Troy Pelletier is a three-time all-league selection and a two-time fi rst-team pick, while seniors Zach Duffy and Tim O’Hara and junior Dom Bragalone are two-time all-league selections. Senior Gatlin Casey and junior Ed Mish were all-league selections at two different positions in 2016 while seniors Brandon Short and Tyler Cavenas were also recognized following the 2016 cam-paign. All of Lehigh’s returning all-league players, except for Short were named to the Preseason All-Patriot League team in late July.

RUSHING TO VICTORYIn 11 seasons under Andy Coen Lehigh has had trouble winning games when it rushes for fewer than 100 yards. The Mountain Hawks have failed to reach the century mark 39 times under Coen and are 14-25 in those games. When Lehigh has surpassed 100 yards during that time, it is 63-25. Lehigh eclipsed the 100 yard mark in eight of 12 games last year and has gained more than 150 yards on the ground in 27 of 45 games dating back to the start of the 2013 season. Over the last two seasons, Lehigh has had 10 games of more than 200 yards rushing, highlighted by a 349 yard showing versus Fordham last October.

FROM COAST TO COASTThe Lehigh coaching staff prides itself in bringing in student-athletes from across the nation. This season, 17 states (plus Canada) are represented on the Mountain Hawks roster, including California, Con-necticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illi-nois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. The state with the most repre-sentation is New Jersey, as 27 Mountain Hawks hail from the Garden State.

PENNSYLVANIA PROUDThe Mountain Hawks’ roster features 20 student-athletes from the state of Pennsyl-vania including a pair who played high school football in the East Penn Conference (formerly Lehigh Valley Conference) or Colonial League. Lehigh’s local contingent consists of junior tight end Jake Buskirk (Whitehall/Whitehall) and junior wide receiver Cam Richardson (Fogelsville/Northwestern Lehigh).

PELLETIER CHASING HISTORYWith 11 receptions against Villanova, senior wide receiver Troy Pelletier moved within three catches of Lehigh’s career record, currently held by Rennie Benn ‘86. Pelletier also has a shot at Benn’s career receiving yards record this season as he enters the Monmouth game 597 yards short.

No. 17 LEHIGH VS. No. 10/9 VILLANOVA

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (9/2/17) - In a game that featured over 900 yards of combined offense, No. 9/10 Villanova outlasted No. 17 Lehigh, 38-35, in the season opener for both sides at Good-man Stadium. The Wildcats jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead and never trailed as Villanova always seemed to have an answer to a Lehigh comeback attempt. Junior Brad Mayes threw for 406 yards and four touchdowns, completing 33 of his 49 pass attempts. Mayes’ three-yard touchdown pass to senior Gatlin Casey brought Lehigh within three with 4:58 to play but the Mountain Hawks never got the ball back as Villanova picked up two fi rst downs to run out the clock. Lehigh had a pair of 100-yard receivers on the day as junior Luke Christia-no tallied a game-high 143 receiving yards in his fi rst-career start and senior Troy Pelletier caught 11 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown. The preseason All-American moved into second place on Lehigh’s all-time receptions list, passing Ryan Spadola and now needs to four to tie Lehigh’s all-time career mark. Among Christiano’s 143 yards was a 66-yard touchdown on the second play of the second half, which pulled Lehigh within seven. Casey tallied 64 receiving yards and added two touchdown re-ceptions as well. Junior Dom Bragalone rushed for 82 yards on 25 carries, with a touchdown. Matt Butler led Lehigh’s defense with nine tackles and a forced fumble while Kareem Montgomery tallied seven tackles.

Lehigh out-gained Villanova by a slim 484-475 margin. The Mountain Hawks had a 406-209 edge through the air, while the Wildcats held a commanding 266-78 edge on the ground. Lehigh had 24 fi rst downs to Villanova’s 21, while time of possession was virtually even.

LAST TIME OUT



MAYES TAKES THE REINSWith the graduation of 2016 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year Nick Shafnisky, junior Brad Mayes takes over as Lehigh’s starting quarterback. Mayes appeared in 13 games over his fi rst two seasons, with fi ve starts, and played well in Lehigh’s opener against Villanova, completing 33-of-49 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns. He was named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts. Last year, the Tampa, Fla. native threw for a Lehigh and Yale Bowl-record 524 yards in a 63-35 Mountain Hawks win at Yale. He also matched a school record with six touchdown passes. In his fi rst six career starts, Mayes has thrown 19 touchdown passes and just one interception. He owns a 4-2 record as a starter.

AN ENCORE FOR THE OFFENSELehigh’s 2016 campaign was highlighted by a high-powered offense that ranked sixth in the FCS in both passing yards and total yards, and ninth nationally in scoring. The Mountain Hawks established school single-season records with 466 points scored and 5,806 yards of total offense. Lehigh scored 40 or more points in seven of its nine wins, led by a 63-point effort at Yale and a 58 point showing against Fordham. The Mountain Hawks’ offense started strong against a good Villanova defense, putting up 484 yards and 35 points in a losing effort. Lehigh averaged just 334 yards and 21 points in its three losses in 2016.

THE GUYS UP FRONTLehigh’s offensive success over the last two seasons can be attributed to a cohesive, veteran offensive line. The Mountain Hawks’ top fi ve linemen have made 54 out of a possible 55 starts in 2015 and 59 out of 60 last season and paved the way for one of the top offensive units in the FCS. Lehigh’s projected starting line features three all-league performers in fi fth-year seniors Zach Duffy (right tackle) and Brandon Short (center), and senior Tim O’Hara at left tackle. Junior Liborio Ricottilli returns as a starter at right guard. Junior Eric Hawkinson and freshman Jackson Evans saw time at left guard against Villanova, with Hawkinson earning the start.

DRIVE FOR FIVELehigh’s roster features three student-athletes who earned fi fth years of eligibility due to medical hardships: offensive linemen Zach Duffy and Brandon Short and defensive lineman Jimmy Mitchell. Both Duffy and Mitchell were sidelined in their true freshman seasons, while Short lost his sophomore season after three games. All three fi fth-years will serve as team captains.

A FRESH STARTLehigh has added 19 fi rst-year student-athletes to its 2017 roster, including several who could contribute right away. Five freshmen appear on Lehigh’s depth chart (page 11) and seven saw action against Villanova: wide receiver Jorge Portorreal, offensive lineman Jackson Evans, defensive lineman Jack Kircher, linebacker Nate Norris defensive backs Divine Buckrham and Jaylen Floyd, and long snapper Jack Dean. Norris was especially active on special teams with a tackle and a fumble recovery.

STARTING BLOCKFive Mountain Hawks made ther fi rst career starts against Villa-nova. Offensively, junior Luke Christiano started at slot receiver and junior Eric Hawkinson started at left guard. On defense, end Harrison Kauffman and linebackers Matt Butler and Keith Woet-zel all started for the fi rst time.

DOUBLE TROUBLELehigh returns one of the top receiving duos in the FCS in seniors Troy Pelletier and Gatlin Casey. Last year both players earned fi rst team All-Patriot League honors and ranked in the top 12 nationally in receiving. Pelletier and Casey combined for 158 catches, 2,413 yards and 26 touchdowns. With 1,278 and and 1,135 yards, respec-tively, Pelletier and Casey became just the second Lehigh duo to both go over 1,000 yards in a season. Lehigh’s 2011 Patriot League Championship team featured Ryan Spadola (1,614) and Jake Drwal (1,060). The duo combined for 16 receptions, 205 yards and three touchdowns in Lehigh’s opener against Villanova.

THE MAN OF TROYTroy Pelletier enters his senior season with a chance to become the most accomplished wide receiver in school history. Pelletier enters the Monmouth game three receptions and and 597 yards away from the school record, held by Lehigh Hall of Famer Rennie Benn ‘86. Pelletier caught 96 passes for 1,278 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior, earning All-Patriot League honors for the third consecutive season and earning a pair of third-team All-America honors. The New Hampshire native had seven 100-yard receiving games in 2016 and was a fi nalist for the Walter Payton Award. Pelletier has been recognized as a Preseason All-American by STATS FCS and was named to the watch list for the 2017 Walter Payton Award.

DON’T SLEEP ON THE OTHER GUYWhile Troy Pelletier led Lehigh in receptions and yards in 2017, class-mate Gatlin Casey emerged as a big play threat, leading the Moun-tain Hawks with 14 touchdown catches and a 18.3 yards-per-re-ception average. Casey had at least one touchdown catch in every game of Lehigh’s nine-game win streak last season, highlighted by a four-touchdown effort (three receiving and one kickoff return) versus Colgate. In Lehigh’s nine-game win streak, Casey averaged 5.8 catches for 113.7 yards and 1.6 touchdowns. Casey earned fi rst team All-Patriot League honors and wide receiver, and kick returner, where he averaged 24.5 yards per return. Against Villanova, Casey had just fi ve receptions, but scored a pair of touchdowns. For the fi rst time since the 2015 Fordham game, Lehigh failed to win when Casey reached the end zone. The Mountain Hawks had won 11 straight games in which Casey scored a touchdown.

WORKING OVERTIMEThe Mountain Hawks have played 11 overtime games since over-time rules were established prior to the 1995 season. Lehigh is 7-4 in overtime games, with its most recent overtime game being the double overtime come-from-behind triumph versus Central Connecticut State in the 2013 season-opener.

* NCAA Playoff Game



SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUTAfter rushing for 1,008 yards and earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman, tailback Dominick Bragalone put together another outstanding campaign in 2016, rushing for 1,171 yards and 14 touchdowns to earn fi rst team All-Patriot League honors. Bragalone had four 100-yard rushing games, highlighted by a career-best 192-yard, three touchdown effort against Fordham. The South Williamsport, Pa. native owns 10 career 100-yard rushing games and joins Rabih Abdullah ’97 as the only Lehigh runners to post two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Bragalone had 82 yards and a touchdown versus Villanova, giving him 2,261 for his career, good for eighth in school history. Erick Torain is next at 2,397.

CENTURY MARK TIMES TWOLast season, having multiple 100-yard receivers in the same game became a common occurrence for the Mountain Hawks as Troy Pelletier and Gatlin Casey accomplished the feat in consecutive wins over Princeton, Yale and Colgate. Pelletier and Casey became the fi rst Lehigh duo to have 100 receiving yards in the same game since Lee Kurfi s (117) and Sergio Fernandez-Soto (123) against New Hampshire in 2013. Lehigh opened the 2017 season with two 100-yard receivers against Villanova, with junior Luke Christiano (143) joining Pelletier (141). Pelletier now has 14 career 100-yard receiving games.

TURNING THE TIDES ON TURNOVERSCreating more turnovers defensively has been a major area of focus for the Mountain Hawks in recent years. After posting negative turnover margins and producing just 13 takeaways in both 2014 and 2015, Lehigh turned things around last season, posting a plus-9 turn-over margin and creating 21 takeaways, including 17 interceptions. Lehigh picked off four passes (and added a fumble recovery) in a win at Holy Cross and also had three interceptions against Prince-ton and New Hampshire. Players accounting for nine of Lehigh’s 17 interceptions return in 2017, led by junior Sam McCloskey, who led the Mountain Hawks with three. Lehigh was even in turnovers against Villanova, with freshman Nate Norris recovering a muffed punt for the Mountain Hawks’ lone takeaway.

JUST FOR KICKSFollowing a strong freshman campaign as Lehigh’s kicker, Ed Mish added punting duties to his plate and went on to earn fi rst team All-Patriot League honors at both positions. Last year Mish was a perfect 62-for-62 on extra points, setting a single-season school record in the process. He also tied a school mark with nine PATs at Yale. A fi ve-time Patriot League Special Teams Player of the Week, Mish scored 80 points in 2016 and averaged 43 yards per kick on 42 punts. With a 5-for-5 showing on extra points against Villanova, Mish has converted 83 consecutive PATs dating back to his freshman season.

FOUR CAPTAINS NAMEDNear the end of preseason camp, coach Andy Coen named four cap-tains for the 2017 season. Fifth-year seniors Zach Duffy (Reading, Pa.) and Brandon Short (Mentor, Ohio) will serve as captains for the second straight season and will be joined by fi fth-year defensive lineman Jimmy Mitchell (La Grange Park, Ill.) Safety Sam McClo-skey (Altoona, Pa.) is the fi rst Lehigh junior to be named a captain since Sedale Threatt in 2006.

JONES BACK IN THE FOLDLehigh’s 2016 title run was accomplished without one of its top performers on defense, after Quentin Jones was lost for the season late in the Yale game with a head injury. The defensive back had 20 tackles through fi ve games and after sitting out the remainder of the fall semester while recovering, returned to campus in the spring and started Lehigh’s opener versus Villanova at Rover. A three-year contributor, Jones had three tackles and averaged almost nine yards on four punt returns last week.

KEEPING THE CHAINS MOVINGOne of the main reasons for Lehigh’s offensive success in 2016 was its ability to move the chains. After talling just 15 in a season-opening loss to Monmouth, the Mountain Hawks averaged 26.2 fi rst downs over their next 11 games. Lehigh was also excellent on third downs, leading the Patriot League and ranking sixth nationally with a .491 conversion rate. Lehigh converted just 38 percent of its third downs against Villanova but was 2-for-3 on fourth down and fi nished its opener with 24 fi rst downs.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSFollowing the 2016 season, Lehigh placed 23 student-athletes on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. Eighteen of those 23 selections are back this season, including fi fth-year senior Jimmy Mitchell, who earned Academic All-Patriot League honors last season. Offensive lineman Micah Tennant ’17 earned several major academic awards following the 2016 season including being recognized as a fi rst team CoSIDA Academic All-American and the FCS ADA Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Junior linebacker Brian Olshanski leads the Mountain Hawks with a 3.68 GPA in fi nance, while among projected starters, junior defensive lineman Harrison Kauffman owns a 3.55, also in fi nance.

SCOUTING MONMOUTHMonmouth opened its season and its newly-renovated home stadium with a 31-12 triumph over Lafayette last weekend. Pete Guerriero rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while the Hawks’ de-fense limited the Leopards to just 261 total yards, including minus-1 rushing yards. The Hawks knocked off Lehigh in last year’s opening game but fi nished 4-7 overall and 0-5 in the Big South. Monmouth was picked fourth in the Big South preseason poll with four play-ers named preseason all-conference. Senior Safety Mike Basile is a preseason All-American and was named to the watch list for the Buck Buchanan Award. Monmouth’s other preseason All-Big South selections included offensive lineman Alex Thompson, wide receiver Reggie White Jr., and tight end Jake Powell. Sophomore Kenji Bahar enters his fi rst full season as Monmouth’s starting quarterback after starting the fi nal three games last season.

PRESEASON PROGNOSTICATIONSLehigh topped the Patriot League pre-season poll, announced in late July. The Mountain Hawks garnered 70 points and 11-of-14 fi rst-place votes in the poll of the league’s head coaches and SIDs. Fordham was picked second and Colgate was picked third. Lehigh tied for third in the 2016 preseason poll and went on to go 6-0 in the league and win its 11th Patriot League football title.

POLL POSITIONWhen Lehigh’s win streak reached six straight last season, the Mountain Hawks entered the national rankings for the fi rst time since Nov. 25, 2013. The Mountain Hawks appeared in both the STATS FCS Top 25 and the FCS Coaches Poll in the last four weeks of the regular season and fi nished the season ranked 18th by the coaches and 21st by STATS. Lehigh dropped two spots in both polls following its loss to Villanova.

A fi ery and passionate leader with a unique ability to motivate and inspire today’s student-athletes, Andy Coen is in his 12th year as Lehigh’s head football coach. During his time as the Moun-tain Hawks leader, Coen has produced 122 All-Pa-triot League honorees, 23

All-America selec-tions and 219 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll student-athletes.

A two-time Patriot League Coach of the Year, Coen has guided Lehigh to four Patriot League titles in 11 seasons in Bethlehem. He was a fi nalist for the Eddie Robinson Award on three occasions, fi nishing seventh in 2010, sixth in 2011 and 11th last year.

Late in the 2016 season, Coen passed the leg-endary John Whitehead and moved into second place on Lehigh’s career coaching wins list. He enters 2017 eight wins behind Bill Leckonby for the top spot.

Coen led the Mountain Hawks to their 11th Patriot League title in 2016. After an 0-2 start, Lehigh reeled off nine consecutive victories, capped by a 45-21 win over rival Lafayette to cap an undefeated Patriot League season. Coen was named Patriot League Coach of the Year and was a fi nalist for the Eddie Robinson Award.

Thirteen players garnered All-Patriot League honors, led by quarterback Nick Shafnisky who was the league and ECAC Offensive Player of the Year. Wide receiver Troy Pelletier went on to earn the fi rst All-America honors for a Lehigh football student-ath-lete since 2013.

Offensive lineman Micah Tennant and nose guard Jimmy Mitchell garnered Academic All-Patriot League honors, with Tennant also earning fi rst team Academic All-America honors.

Lehigh fi nished 2015 with a 4-2 league mark. A 49-35 win over rival Lafayette, Lehigh’s sixth in the last eight years over the Leopards clinched a winning campaign at 6-5. A balanced offensive attack kept Lehigh in every game with quarterback Nick Shafni-sky leading the Patriot League’s top-ranked offense. Freshman tailback Dominick Bragalone became the fi rst Lehigh freshman to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season and was named Patriot League and ECAC Rookie of the Year as well as being named a fi -nalist for the FCS Freshman Player of the Year award.

Eight Mountain Hawks garnered All-Patriot League honors in 2015 with sophomore wide receiver Troy Pelletier and junior linebacker Colton Caslow recognized for the second time.

Academically, 22 student-athletes were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, with seniors Cody Kondas and Chris Ruhl earning Academic All-League recognition. Ruhl was also a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection.

Coen coached fi ve All-Patriot League perform-ers in 2014 including three-time All-League offensive tackle Ned Daryoush and punter Austin Devine. Pelletier was a fi nalist for the Jerry Rice Award, given

to the nation’s top freshman.The Mountain Hawks posted their fourth con-

secutive winning season in 2013 with an 8-3 mark. Coen mentored nine All-Patriot League selections including wide receiver Lee Kurfi s, who led the FCS in receiving yards per game and earned All-America honors.

Under Coen’s guidance, Lehigh posted its third consecutive ten win season in 2012. Lehigh posted its fi fth straight win over Lafayette and fi nished in the top 20 of both national polls for the third straight season.

Coen coached 11 student-athletes to All-Patriot League honors, with a trio of seniors recognized as ECAC All-Stars. Seniors Zach Barket and Ryan Spadola were CoSIDA Academic All-District selec-tions, while Barket became Coen’s fi rst Academic All-American.

In 2011, Coen guided the Mountain Hawks to their best season in a decade, one that featured an 11-2 overall record, a 5-0 Patriot League record and Lehigh’s league-leading tenth football championship. The Mountain Hawks won 10 straight games, includ-ing a 40-38 win at Towson in the second round of the NCAA playoffs. Lehigh fi nished in the top six in both polls and captured its eighth Lambert Cup en route to being named ECAC FCS Team of the Year.

With quarterback Chris Lum leading the way, Lehigh ranked among the top fi ve nationally in pass-ing offense and scoring offense. Lum fi nished second in the voting for the Walter Payton Award.

Five Mountain Hawks garnered All-America recognition, led by Lum and Spadola. Academical-ly, Spadola and Barket were Academic All-District selections.

The 2010 season saw Coen guide the Moun-tain Hawks to their ninth league championship and Lehigh’s fi rst outright league title since 2001. The Mountain Hawks won ten games for the fi rst time since 2001 and posted the fi rst undefeated Patriot League season in seven years.

Lehigh qualifi ed for the NCAA playoffs for the fi rst time since 2004 and went on the road to defeat Northern Iowa 14-7 for the Patriot League’s fi rst playoff win in seven years, while fi nishing the season ranked 14th nationally. For his team’s success, Coen was named Patriot League Coach of the Year.

Eighteen players were named to All-Patriot League teams, while four players earned All-America honors, including offensive lineman Will Rackley ’11 who was Lehigh’s fi rst Associated Press fi rst team All-America since 2004 and was drafted by the Jack-sonville Jaguars in the third round of the NFL Draft.

The 2009 Mountain Hawks led the nation in sacks with 39 and ranked 12th in America in tackles-for-loss with 83. Linebacker Matt Cohen ‘10 became the fi rst player during Coen’s tenure to earn a major award from the Patriot League as he garnered Defen-sive Player of the Year accolades. Cohen went onto earn All-America laurels from four different outlets while Rackley was honored by one.

During the 2008 season, Coen led Lehigh to a 4-2 Patriot League mark, which included a 31-15 victory over archrival Lafayette. Nine players earned spots on the All-Patriot League teams, while four student-athletes garnered All-America accolades. Off the fi eld, 12 Mountain Hawks were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, led by Brendan Van Ackeren ’09 who also earned a spot on the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Team.

In 2007, Lehigh ranked second in the Patriot League in scoring defense (21.1 ppg) and scored

30 or more points on four occasions, including a 45-0 shutout win over Georgetown – the program’s fi rst shutout victory since 2002. Coen coached 10 All-Patriot League selections and six All-Americans; marking the fi rst time since 2004 Lehigh produced an All-American.

Coen led the Mountain Hawks to a share of the Patriot League Championship in his fi rst-ever season as a head coach in 2006. The Mountain Hawks boasted a balanced attack on both sides of the ball, topping the Patriot League in scoring offense (27.2 ppg) and defense (20.2 ppg). The New Jersey native mentored 14 All-Patriot League selections.

Coen became the 28th head football coach in Lehigh history on January 3, 2006. That announce-ment marked his return to Lehigh, where he spent six seasons as an offensive line coach – including four as the team’s offensive coordinator.

Coen returned to Lehigh from Penn, where he spent six years as the offensive coordinator with the Quakers. In his six seasons in Philadelphia, the Quakers captured three Ivy League titles, including a top ten national fi nish in 2003.

In his fi rst stop at Lehigh (1994-99), Coen was a part of three Patriot League championship teams, in-cluding the 12-1 1998 squad. That team set a school mark for the most wins in a season, while reaching the NCAA Division I-AA quarterfi nals.

Coen produced ten All-Patriot League offensive linemen at Lehigh, while his teams twice fi nished in the national top ten in passing offense (1996, 1998). During Coen’s tenure as coordina-tor, Lehigh produced four consecutive 1,000-yard rushers, including Rabih Abdullah ’97, who remains Lehigh’s all-time leader in rushing yards (3,696). Abdullah later went on to become the fi rst Lehigh player to win a Super Bowl as a member of the 2004 New England Patriots.

Before his original stint at Lehigh, Coen spent four seasons at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y. He also worked as a graduate assistant coach at Minnesota and James Madison.

A native of Cherry Hill, N.J., Coen earned his bachelors in history from Gettysburg College in 1986.

Coen and his wife Laura have three children: a daughter, Molly and two sons, Nolan and Finn.
