FROM KEITH GROLLER
Lehigh's win over Holy Cross again elevated the Mountain Hawks in the national FCS polls.
They moved from No. 21 to No. 20 in The Sports Network poll and from No. 19 to No. 17 in the coaches poll.
Lehigh has now been ranked in the national polls for 42 consecutive weeks. The Mountain Hawks were as high as No. 13 and No. 10 in the polls released on Sept. 30, but dropped to No. 22 and No. 21 two weeks ago after the 48-10 loss to Bucknell.
