PATRIOT LEAGUE HONORS Brian Baker was the Patriot League's Offensive Player of the Week after rushing 32 times for 173 yards and a touchdown. David Sunderland earned defensive honors after recording four sacks.

The old, rickety stadium and an Ivy League setting provided Lehigh with all the incentive it needed. "Coach talked about the stadium and the history behind it last night. Obviously, the atmosphere was part ofthe motivation," Defensive tackle David Sunderland said. "This is the best in the Patriot League and the best in the Ivy League. If you can't get fired up about that you shouldn't be playing collegiate football." The Engineer defense played its best game of the year, limiting the Tigers to 234 yards of total offense. Lehigh's pass prevention continued to impress, relinquishing just 187 yards to Brett Budzinski, who completed 22 of 41 passes and threw two interceptions and a pair of touchdowns. Lehigh's run defense was even more imposing, giving up just 47 yards. Last week against Holy Cross, Princeton running back Marc Washington rushed for 151 yards on 29 carries. "We ended up attempting 41 passes and that is just not our style of play," Princeton Coach Steven Tosches said. "Offensively, we were very, very sporadic. We got manhandled a little bit inside." Sunderland was a constant disruption to every aspect of Princeton's offense. The senior had 10 tackles, includingfour sacks, and with the rest ofthe defensive front, applied constantpressure to Budzinski and the entire Tiger backfield. Strong Safety Mark Miller and freshman weakside linebacker Ian Eason each hadeighttackles. Sophomore tailback Brian Baker carried32 times for 173 tackles (a 5.4 average) and a touchdown against a lethargic Princeton defense. Baker hasn't rushed that many times since his high school days at Bethlehem Catholic. Even then, Baker said he didn't remember running as much as he did against the Tigers. "We wanted to establish a running game to take some pressure off the quarterback," Baker explained. "I think our running game did that." "They had a well- balanced attack," Tosches said. "I'm disappointed their runningbackranfor 173 yards. They were more Senior defensive tackle David Sunderland had 10 including four sacks, Saturday in Palmer Stadium. Joe Ryan tackles, physical on both sides ofthe ball." Junior Seka Edwards, making his first collegiate start, completed 12 of 28 passes for 202 yards. Edwards also threw four interceptions. He was picked off twice in the red zone including an interception in the corner ofthe endzone. "I think I was a little inconsistent," Edwards admitted. "We started off good in the first quarter. We had two good drives and then I started to make some first-game mistakes." Edwards found sophomore split end Deron Braswell (three catches, 81 yards) streaking down the left sideline in single coverage on Lehigh's second possession. Edwards heaved the ball 45 yards and hit Braswell on Princeton's 20- yard line. Braswell did the rest for a 62-yard touchdown and a 7-0 Lehigh lead. "We started off strong in the first quarter," Lehigh Coach Kevin Higgins said. "Seka made his reads and stepped up well in the pocket and found Braswell down the sideline. "Now as the game progressed there were plenty of opportunities he didn't take advantage of." Edwards engineered another scoring Sophomore tailback, Brian Baker rushed for 173 yards on 32 carries. Jos Ryan drive in the third quarter. Joe Falzone (six catches, 90 yards) broke free down the left sideline and Edwards hit him in stride for a 29-yard touchdown. "Obviously, when you win a football game you feel some positive things happened," Higgins said. Edwards added another dimension to Lehigh's offense with the ability to occasionally run the option. "They were a little more athletic at the quarterback position than we expected," Tosches said. "They came out with some option and we really weren't prepared for that." Although he carried the ball nine times for just 25 yards Edwards is also a threat to sprint out around either end ofthe field. "We wanted to give Seka the opportunity to run the ball around the corner," Higgins said. "Seka on the corner is a good running play." Lehigh continues its October roadtripthisweekend against Yankee Conference power New Hampshire before taking on Pennsylvania October 19th. Taylor Renovations The third and final stage of Taylor Gym construction has begun. Only the Taylor street lobby entrance will be open. Limited spaces are available in the Taylor parking lot.
