Lehigh moves up one spot to No. 13 in The Sports Network FCS poll

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER Lehigh has to hope that No. 13 will be a lucky number today. That's where the Mountain Hawks find themselves in the latest Sports Network top-25 poll that was released a day early for potential use by the NCAA FCS tournament selection committee. Lehigh was No. 14 in the last Sports Network poll. The tournament bracket will be revealed at 1:30 today. Lehigh is considered to have about a 50-50 chance of earning one of the 10 at-large berths for the 20-team field.
