Saturday, November 22 at 1 p.m.
MASN, the local leader in live sports entertainment, will televise the 144th Annual Lafayette vs. Lehigh game on Saturday, November 22. Coverage of "The Rivalry" begins live on MASN at 1 p.m. from Fisher Stadium in Easton, PA.
Every year since 1897, Lafayette and Lehigh engage in one of the fiercest and most storied rivalries in collegiate sports.
Lafayette has a slight edge in this year's battle, having taken 76 of the games throughout its history, as well as each of the past four. Coach Frank Tavani's Leopards are 7-3 heading into the final game of the season, though both teams are 3-2 in the Patriot League.
Andy Coen's Mountain Hawks will bring their fans, friends, families and 4-6 record with them on Saturday, just a few miles north of their own university to redeem Lehigh's recent losses to Lafayette.
The game will be televised live on MASN throughout a seven-state region to 5.4 million households on twenty-three cable providers including Armstrong, Kuhn, Verizon FIOS, DirecTV and Dish Network in Pennsylvania.
