BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh University continued its impressive winning streak with a dominant 38-3 victory over Holy Cross on Saturday. The game, held at Goodman Stadium, featured a standout performance from the Mountain Hawks, who racked up 518 total yards of offense and allowed just 215 yards from their opponents.

Junior running back Luke Yoder was a key player in the game, rushing for 142 yards and two touchdowns, bringing his season total to over 1,000 yards.

Lehigh took the lead early in the first quarter, executing a six-play, 63-yard drive that culminated in a touchdown pass from Johnson to Humphrey. Holy Cross managed to get on the board with a field goal but couldn’t keep pace as Lehigh’s offense heated up.

The Mountain Hawks expanded their lead with a 42-yard touchdown run from Yoder just before halftime, ending the second quarter at 14-3. A series of solid drives in the second half allowed Lehigh to pull further ahead, starting with a field goal and followed by a 45-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to Jamiel.

As the game progressed, Yoder capped off the scoring with a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Johnson finished the day with 174 passing yards, while Jamiel had 66 yards receiving. The victory moves Lehigh’s record to 10-0 for the season, marking their best start since 2001.
