He completed 22 of 27 passes and launched five touchdowns. Stambaugh finished the day with 388 yards. P. Stambaugh (Week of Oct. 12, 1998) Men's Soccer-Offensive: Andrew Mittendorf, senior forward from Somers, NY scored the game winning goal to lead Lehigh to a 2-1 victory over Patriot League opponent Army. For the fourth consecutive week, Mittendorf is the number one scorer among all NCAA Division I soccer players. He has tallied 20 goals in 12 games and has 98 points. Currently, he holds five Patriot League scoring records. , Mittendorf Football-Defensive: Following the Columbia game, senior Nick Martucci, a defensive end from Broadheadsville, PA came through with the big play to end Columbia's final drive and ensure Lehigh of a 20-19 victory.

Joe Ryan It was a day of record break ing proportions for Lehigh as it trounced Towson 55-7. Everything from the sunny 74 degree weather to the play of the offense and defense went Lehigh's way, as Towson (3-4 overall, 1-4 Patriot League) watched Lehigh build a dominating lead from the first drive of the game at Goodman Stadium in front of 8,059 fans. Lehigh is now 6-0 for the first time since 1991 and holding the number one spot in the Patriot League with two victories. Junior quarterback Phil Stambaugh passed for a career high five touchdowns. The Lehigh offense racked up a stadium record 672 yards, which was the most ever surrendered by a Towson team. It was also the first time since 1995 that aLehigh team compiled more than 600 offensive yards in a game. "It's nice to go out there and have things click like that," Stambaugh said. Stambaugh connected 22 out of 27 times with his receivers compiling 388 yards with no interceptions. Also, he helped the offense tally 29 first downs, the second most ever for a Lehigh team. "Our offensive line did an excellent job of pass protection and Stambaugh made excellent reads at the line of scrimmage," Lehigh Head Coach Kevin Higgins said. "This was as good a game as he's ever played." Stambaugh was not the only quarterback that saw the field. Lehigh used four different quarterbacks including senior Steve Budge who was 2 for 2 for 15 yards and a touchdown. "They have so many weapons offensively," Towson Coach Gordy Combs said. "They had a good game plan, and they didn't make many mistakes." The loss for Towson was their second worst ever, dating back to a 48-0 loss to West Chester University in 1971. "I think they were trying to take away our deep ball, and they were leaving our underneath patterns open," Stambaugh said. In the first quarter, Stambaugh connected on passes with tight ends R.J. Ryan and Bruce Peltzer, followed by a 14 yard touchdown pass to sophomore Rick Moore as Lehigh took off to a 14-0 lead. Lehigh led 38- 0 at the half, the second-most points ever scored by Lehigh in an opening half. Stambaugh distributed the ball to 11 different receivers with Moore leading the way with four receptions for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Moore made his first start of his college career in place of senior Joe Falzone, who lost practice time during the week due to a concussion sustained against Columbia last week. "I didn't know I was going to start until Friday," Moore said. "I'm always a little nervous before a game, but after the first series I was all right. The routes were open and Phil hit me right in stride." Helping the running game for Lehigh was the return of senior running back Brian Baker, who sat out last week's game after having a pin surgically placed in his right index finger. He returned to form carrying the ball 12 times for 120 yards. "He didn't miss a beat," Higgins said. "I was concerned how [Baker] would be able to go not having played last week. Actually his legs looked fresher." Baker also caught a 36-yard touchdown in the third quarter to become Lehigh's all-time receiving leader among running backs. Baker replaces Mark Lookenbill's standard of 1,161 by five. "One of the goals coming into the game was to re-establish the running game," Higgins said. "Our players did a good job of executing." Lehigh's 55 points was the most scored since a 55-27 win over Columbia in 1988, and the 48-point victory margin was the most for Lehigh since a 49-0 win over the University of Connecticut in 1977. Another new feat for Lehigh was a pair of brothers scoring touchdowns. Freshman receiver Josh Snyder and junior fullback Brett Snyder are believed to be the first brothers to score touchdowns in the same game. "I never remember that tak ing place before, at least in my 10 years," Higgins said. Lehigh's kicking game was once again impressive. Lehigh's hero from last week, sophomore Jaron Taafe kicked two more field goals and seven extra points. Freshman Jay Heibel once again averaged 49 yards per kick. "Our freshman punter stepped up once again," Higgins said. "Our punting game is so much better." Although the offense dominated the game, Lehigh's defense once again showed why they allow the fewest points per game in the league. They only allowed 86 yards of offense in the first half. Senior Nick Martucci added to his league leading quarterback sack number, by tallying three more on the day for a total of nine on the season. Senior Brian Wolovich also added a sack. "I can't really take any credit for the sacks," Martucci said. Two of them were coverage sacks. Their quarterback didn't have enough time because we were getting pressure up the middle." The Lehigh defense allowed a Towson touchdown with : 14 left in the third quarter. Towson's head coach could find only one positive in the game. "If there is a silver lining, we've got two. weeks to prepare for our next opponent," Combs said. "[Lehigh's] got so many weapons on offense. They distribute the ball very well. Stambaugh does a great job of taking what the defense gives him. They created some mismatches, and we gave them too much time to throw the ball." -Jenn Rauch '99 Patriot League Standings Teams Records 1. Lehigh 2-0, 6-0 2. Colgate 1-0, 4-2 3.
