The Mountain Hawks outscored opponents 399 to 228. Their 4–2 conference record placed third out of seven in the Patriot League.[3]
The Mountain Hawks were ranked No. 14 in the preseason Division I-AA national poll. They remained in the top 25, ranging as high as No. 11 and as low as No. 20, until the final week of the regular season. A loss to unranked archrival Lafayette dropped Lehigh out of the final poll.
