He holds a career record of 68-48. In 10-plus years as the Mountain Hawks leader, Coen has produced 109 All-Patriot League honorees, 22 All-America selections and 196 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll choices. Coen has led Lehigh to three Patriot League Championships in 10 seasons, including back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011. The 2010 Patriot League Coach of the Year, Coen has twice been named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, finishing seventh in the 2010 voting and sixth in 2011. (Coach Coen’s complete bio can be found on page 14) PENN HEAD COACH RAY PRIORE Ray Priore took over as the 22nd George A. Munger Head Coach of Football at Penn on Dec. 1, 2014 and begins his second season as the Quakers’ head man today. Priore enters his 30th season at Penn, where he has been a part of 11 Ivy League championship teams, including last year’s 7-3 campaign in his first season as head coach. He spent the previous 16 seasons as Penn’s defensive coordinator and secondary coach. Priore is a 1985 graduate of Albany. THE SERIES Lehigh and Penn meet for the 59th time with the Quakers holding a 44-14 advantage. Last year’s meeting was the first since 2003 after Lehigh and Penn met regularly in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Last year’s win snapped a two-game Penn winning streak in the series. Lehigh has won 12 of the last 16 meetings dating back to 1975. These teams first met in 1885 and last met at Franklin Field in 2002, a 24-21 Quakers victory. THE LAST TIME THEY MET BETHLEHEM, Pa. (9/19/15) - Powered by a career day from junior quarterback Nick Shafnisky, Lehigh cruised to a 42-21 victory over Penn in its home opener on at Goodman Stadium. With the win, the Mountain Hawks improve to 2-1 on the season. The Lehigh offense racked up an impressive 495 yards of total offense, 250 through the air and 245 on the ground. Shafnisky completed 24-of-34 of his passes for 250 yards and career high-tying three passing touchdowns. He also ran for 95 yards to go along with two rushing touchdowns. After having just three catches in his first two games, sophomore Troy Pelletier put together a strong game with ten receptions for 104 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Junior Trevor Socarras added five catches for 55 yards. On the ground, freshman Micco Brisker eclipsed 100 yards rushing for the first time in his career, finishing with 114 on 22 carries. Lehigh held a 495-476 edge in total yards, including a 245-140 edge in rushing. Penn held a 336-250 advantage through the air. Lehigh Sports Communications• 641 Taylor Street, Bethlehem, PA • Phone 610-758-3174 • @LehighSports GAME THREE: LEHIGH AT PENN • PAGE THREE IMPROVEMENT, BUT... WELCOME BACK The Mountain Hawks made several positive strides between games one and two but it wasn’t enough to pick up a win at No. 22/19 Villanova. Lehigh’s defense limited the Wildcats to six first half points as the Mountain Hawks led 14-6 at the half and 21-20 in the fourth quarter, but 396 rushing yards helped Villanova rally in the second half. Lehigh’s offense gained 364 total yards and held the ball for 30:26 after being limited to just 239 yards and 22:22 time of possession against Monmouth. Lehigh returns five of the eight players named to last season’s All-Patriot League teams. Junior wide receiver Troy Pelletier and senior linebacker Colton Caslow are two-time all-league selections, who made their first appearances on the first team last year. Also returning is sophomore running back Dominick Bragalone, who was a first team All-Patriot League pick and the Patriot League Rookie of the Year in 2015. Lehigh’s bookend offensive tackles, senior Zach Duffy and junior Tim O’Hara were second team all-league selections. Pelletier, Duffy, O’Hara and Caslow were named to the Preseason All-Patriot League team in early August. COEN’S PENN CONNECTIONS Saturday’s game marks Andy Coen’s second meeting with Penn and first at Franklin Field as a head coach, after spending six seasons with the Quakers under Al Bagnoli prior to his return to Lehigh. Coen spent six seasons as Penn’s offensive coordinator where he helped the Quakers to three Ivy League titles and a top ten national finish in 2003. While Coen led Penn’s offense, Quaker head coach Ray Priore was Penn’s defensive coordinator and secondary coach. Coen will be coaching at Franklin Field for the first time since a 16-7 loss to Cornell in the 2005 season finale. RUSHING TO VICTORY In ten seasons under Andy Coen Lehigh has had trouble winning games when it rushes for fewer than 100 yards. The Mountain Hawks have failed to reach the century mark 35 times under Coen and are 12-23 in those games. When Lehigh has surpassed 100 yards during that time, it is 56-25. Lehigh eclipsed the 100 yard mark in nine of 11 games last year and has gained more than 150 yards on the ground in 26 of 34 games dating back to the start of the 2013 season. The Mountain Hawks rushed for more than 200 yards in each of the last four games last season but have just 198 rushing yards through two games in 2016. PENNSYLVANIA PROUD The Mountain Hawks’ roster features 20 student-athletes from the state of Pennsylvania including four who played high school football in the East Penn Conference (formerly Lehigh Valley Conference) or Colonial League. Lehigh’s local contingent consists of senior quarterback Nick Shafnisky (Whitehall/Whitehall), senior linebacker Evan Kauffman (Bethlehem/Freedom), sophomore linebacker Jake Buskirk (Whitehall/Whitehall) and sophomore wide receiver Cam Richardson (Northwestern Lehigh). FOUR CAPTAINS NAMED Near the end of preseason camp, coach Andy Coen named four seniors as captains for the 2016 season. Quarterback Nick Shafnisky (Whitehall, Pa.), offensive linemen Zach Duffy (Reading, Pa.) and Brandon Short (Mentor, Ohio), and linebacker Colton Caslow (Altamonte Springs, Fla.) will lead this year’s squad. BALANCE IS KEY Last year’s numbers showed that when Lehigh features a balanced offensive attack, the Mountain Hawks enjoyed success. When there was a difference of less than 100 yards between Lehigh’s net rushing and passing totals, the Mountain Hawks were 6-1. When the difference was more than 100, Lehigh was 0-4. The Mountain Hawks had a run-pass differential of 79 yards against Monmouth but their attempt at balance was negated by Lehigh’s first sub-300 yard total offensive output since the 2014 Lafayette game. Lehigh had a run-pass difference of 128 yards in its loss at Villanova. FROM COAST TO COAST The Lehigh coaching staff prides itself in bringing in student-athletes from across the nation. This season, 19 states are represented on the Mountain Hawks roster, including California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington. Experience Lehigh Football 2003 LAST TIME OUT LEHIGH AT No.22/19 VILLANOVA VILLANOVA, Pa. (9/10/16) - In a back-and-forth affair, No. 22/19 Villanova came-from-behind twice to take a lead and then held off Lehigh’s late bid at a game-winning drive as the Wildcats handed the Mountain Hawks their second straight defeat, 26-21 at Villanova Stadium. The Mountain Hawks (0-2) used a strong second quarter to take a 14-6 lead into halftime but the Wildcats (1-1) outscored Lehigh 20-7 in over the second 30 minutes. Villanova out-gained Lehigh 452-364 on the evening, racking up 396 rushing yards, including 239 in the second half. Junior Troy Pelletier led Lehigh offensively with 13 receptions for 121 yards. Senior Nick Shafnisky completed 29-of-41 passes for 246 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His 11-yard strike to senior Derek Knott gave Lehigh a 21-20 lead with 8:03 to play, but Villanova answered with an eight-play, 83-yard drive culminating in a Javon White two-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-1 for the go-ahead score. Early in the fourth quarter, Shafnisky led Lehigh on a 10-play, 75-yard drive capped by the tying touchdown pass to Knott. Ed Mish’s extra point put Lehigh up 21-20 with 8:03 remaining. Villanova answered with a strong drive of its own and facing 4th-and-1 from the two yard line, White plunged in for his second touchdown of the game. Lehigh received the kickoff and began to move the ball and worked itself out of a 2nd-and-24 hole after a bad snap, but facing 4th-and-10 from the Villanova 31, Pelletier was stopped a yard and a half short of the marker on his 13th reception of the game. Knott was Lehigh’s second leading receiver with seven catches for 68 yards. Sophomore Dominick Bragalone led Lehigh on the ground with 90 yards on 17 carries. TEN-TIME PATRIOT LEAGUE CHAMPIONS • 1993 •1995 • 1998 • 1999 • 2000 • 2001 • 2004 • 2006 •2006 •2010 • 2011 •TEN-TIME PATRIOT LEAGUE CHAMPIONS GAME THREE: LEHIGH AT PENN• PAGE FOUR UNDER CENTER THE MAN OF TROY Senior Nick Shafnisky is in his third full season as Lehigh’s starting quarterback. Shafnisky came into his own last season, completing nearly 67 percent of his passes for 2,279 yards and 15 touchdowns compared to just 10 interceptions in 11 games last year. He was also a key cog to Lehigh’s ground attack, rushing for 674 yards and a team-best 12 touchdowns. The Whitehall, Pa. product saved his best for last in 2015, going 21-for-27 for 283 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for 109 yards and a touchdown to earn MVP honors in Lehigh’s 49-35 win over Lafayette last November. Shafnisky owns four career 300-yard passing games and a pair of 100-yard rushing games. He enjoyed one of the best games of his career last year against Penn, accounting for 345 yards of offense and a career-high five touchdowns (three passing, two rushing). Lehigh’s offense features a wealth of depth and talent at the wide receiver position, led by junior Troy Pelletier. A finalist for the Jerry Rice Award, given to the top freshman in the FCS, in 2014, Pelletier showed no signs of a sophomore slump, leading Lehigh with 78 receptions for 831 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Among Pelletier’s 78 catches were a school-record 15 receptions at Princeton last September. Lehigh’s previous single game reception record was 14, a mark established six times by five different players, most recently Lee Kurfis at Columbia in 2013. Lehigh Hall of Famer Rennie Benn ‘86 caught 14 passes in a game on two separate occasions. Pelletier was held to two catches just versus Monmouth, but bounced back with 13 catches for 121 yards at Villanova. LEHIGH VS. IVY LEAGUE ON THE GRIDIRON A DOM-INANT FRESHMAN SEASON Last year, tailback Dominick Bragalone became the first Lehigh freshman to eclipse the 1,000 yard rushing mark on the way to becoming Lehigh’s first Patriot League Rookie of the Year for football since 1986. Bragalone’s 179th and final carry of 2016 was a 44-yard touchdown run, which put him over the 1,000 yard mark. His 1,008 yards mark the 10th highest single-season total in school history. The South Williamsport, Pa., native had six 100-yard rushing games, highlighted by a 169-yard effort against Georgetown. Bragalone has scored a touchdown in five consecutive games going back to last season and has seven touchdowns in that span. Lehigh and Penn meet for the 59th time on Saturday but just the second time since 2003. The Patriot League and the Ivy League institutions both pride themselves on top notch academics. Lehigh has a substantial history against all eight Ivy members. The Mountain Hawks are 12-13 against Ivy League opponents under Andy Coen but have won 10 of the their last 13 against the Ancient Eight. Coen was Penn’s offensive coordinator for the three most recent matchups between Lehigh and Penn prior to last year’s meeting. This marks the ninth time in Coen’s 11 seasons that Lehigh will face an Ivy League foe in that Ivy League team’s season opener. Much of Lehigh’s offensive success in 2015 can be attributed to an improved offensive line. The Mountain Hawks’ top five linemen have made 54 out of a possible 55 starts last season and paved the way for a Lehigh offense that averaged 188.2 rushing yards and 274.3 passing yards per game. Three-fifths of that line is back this year with All-Patriot League performers Tim O’Hara and Zach Duffy at the tackle spots and Brandon Short at center. Seniors Micah Tennant and Evan Sweeney and sophomore Liborio Ricottilli have been rotating at the guard positions. Lehigh vs. The Ivy League Opponent Lehigh record Brown 3-7 Columbia 12-5-1 Cornell 10-14-2 Dartmouth 5-2 Harvard 8-9 Penn 14-44 Princeton 16-40-2 Yale 6-17 DRIVE FOR FIVE WORKING OVERTIME THE GUYS UP FRONT Lehigh’s roster features two student-athletes who earned fifth years of eligibility due to medical hardships. Wide receiver Derek Knott missed the final nine games of 2014 but came back to catch 32 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns in his first fully-healthy season last year. LaQuan Lambert was penciled in for Lehigh’s new rover position last season, but suffered a season-ending injury in Lehigh’s opening-day win at CCSU. A FRESH START Lehigh has added 21 first-year student-athletes to its 2016 roster, including several who could contribute right away. Five freshmen have seen action in Lehigh’s first two games, led by Riley O’Neil, who has seven tackles in two starts at free safety. Ryan Nace, Jon Seighman, Jake Weir and Marquis Wilson have all seen action with Nace recording a tackle for loss against Monmouth and the other three contributing on special teams. Twelve of Lehigh’s 31 sophomores appeared in at least six games last year.

Led by junior Troy Pelletier, the Mountain Hawks return their top six wide receivers from last season. Juniors Gatlin Casey and Sasha Kelsey and senior Trevor Socarras each had three receptions versus Monmouth to lead the Mountain Hawks, with Kelsey leading the way with 48 yards and a touchdown. Fifth-year senior Derek Knott had a strong game with seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown at Villanova. Lehigh also returns senior special teams standout Jarrod Howard and junior tight end Drew Paulsen to its deep receiving corps. In all, Lehigh returns backs and receivers who accounted for 249 of its 254 receptions (98%) from last season. Several Mountain Hawks are moving closer to career milestones. CAPTAIN CASLOW MAKES HIS SEASON DEBUT After missing the Monmouth game due to injury senior linebacker and defensive captain Colton Caslow returned to the Lehigh lineup at Villanova, contributing a team-best 10 tackles, plus a tackle-forloss. Despite missing two games due to injury last season, Caslow led the Mountain Hawks with 95 tackles. He added eight tacklesfor-loss, including 1.5 in the season finale against Lafayette. Caslow established a career-high with 17 tackles in last year’s season-opener at Central Connecticut State. He now owns 10 career double-digit tackle games, five of which came last season. TURNOVER TROUBLES One way Lehigh can help its defense improve is by creating more turnovers, something the Mountain Hawks have struggled with in each of the last two seasons. The Mountain Hawks had just 13 takeaways in each of the last two seasons. Last year Lehigh came up with just five interceptions and eight fumble recoveries. On the flip side, after losing just three fumbles as a team in 2014, Lehigh’s 23 giveaways in 2015 were the most in the Patriot League. Last year, Lehigh finished minus-10 in turnover margin although the Mountain Hawks were even in turnovers in their last four games. Lehigh is minus one in turnover margin through two games. Sam McCloskey made his first career interception against Monmouth but Nick Shafnisky has thrown an interception in each of Lehigh’s first two games. JUST FOR KICKS Ed Mish enjoyed a strong freshman season as Lehigh’s kicker, converting 40 of his 43 extra point attempts and going 9-for-12 on field goals, with a long of 43 yards against Holy Cross. Mish was 6-for-6 on extra points so far this season. He has also taken over the punting duties for Lehigh, averaging 43.7 yards on seven punts with three placed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. A SLUGGISH START It took more than 30 minutes of football for Lehigh’s high-powered offense to get going in its season-opening loss to Monmouth. The Mountain Hawks were limited to just 19 plays for 49 total yards through 30 minutes and were kept off the scoreboard. Lehigh was only held scoreless in a half once in 2015, when the Mountain Hawks were blanked in the first half in a 27-12 loss to Yale in what was Lehigh’s worst offensive performance in an otherwise strong season. Player Dom Bragalone Colton Caslow LaQuan Lambert Brandon Leaks Troy Pelletier Troy Pelletier Nick Shafnisky Milestone 10 rushing touchdowns 250 tackles 100 tackles 100 tackles 150 receptions 2,000 receiving yards 1,500 rushing yards Currently 9 236 80 84 142 1,788 1,362 POSSESSION PROBLEMS While Lehigh’s defense limited Monmouth to just 23 points after yielding an average of 35 points in 2015, the Mountain Hawks were hurt by a large disparity in time of possession. Monmouth held the ball for 37:38 and ran offensive 75 plays, compared to 52 for Lehigh. The Hawks also converted 7-of-15 third downs and 2-of-3 fourth downs to prolong drives. The last time a Lehigh opponent held the ball for more than 38 minutes was Central Connecticut State, which held the ball for 39:18 in the 2013 season-opener won by Lehigh in double overtime. 0-NO! Lehigh has now started the season with consecutive losses three times under Andy Coen. The Mountain Hawks will be looking to pick up their first win earlier than the previous two Lehigh teams to start 0-2. The 2009 Mountain Hawks lost their first four games, while the 2014 squad started 0-5. HITTING THE BOOKS Following the 2015 season, Lehigh placed 22 student-athletes on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. Returning offensive linemen Micah Tennant and Aidan O’Carroll were two of the three Mountain Hawks to register a perfect 4.0 grade point average during the 2015 fall semester. Tennant leads Lehigh with a 3.90 cumulative GPA in mechanical engineering, sophomore business majors Brian Olshanski and Harrison Kauffman hold a 3.83 and 3.74, respectively. Fifteen of Lehigh’s Academic Honor Roll selections return this season, while 19 of the 64 non-freshmen on Lehigh’s roster own a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. SCOUTING PENN The Quakers open their 2016 campaign after earning a share of the Ivy League title in 2015. Penn bounced back from an opening day loss to Lehigh to win seven of its next nine games, going 6-1 in the Ivy League. The Quakers were picked second in the Ivy preseason poll and return 16 starters, including first-team All-Ivy quarterback Alek Torgersen and wide receiver Justin Watson. The Ivy League’s top receiver last year, Watson is one of 22 players named to the STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List. Honorable mention All-Ivy linebacker Donald Panciello leads the Penn defense.

DL GAME THREE: LEHIGH AT PENN • PAGE FOURTEEN LEHIGH HEAD COACH ANDY COEN A fiery and passionate leader with a unique ability to motivate and inspire today’s student-athletes, Andy Coen is in his 11th year as Lehigh’s head football coach. During his time as the Mountain Hawks leader, Coen has produced 109 All-Patriot League honorees, 22 All-America selections and 196 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll student-athletes. Coen has guided Lehigh to three Patriot League titles in 10 seasons in Bethlehem, including back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011. He has twice been named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, finishing seventh in the 2010 voting and sixth in 2011. In 10 seasons, Coen has amassed an overall record of 68-46 (.596) and a 41-19 (.683) mark against Patriot League foes. Lehigh finished 2015 with a 4-2 league mark. A 49-35 win over rival Lafayette, Lehigh’s sixth in the last eight years over the Leopards clinched a winning campaign at 6-5. A balanced offensive attack kept Lehigh in every game with quarterback Nick Shafnisky leading the Patriot League’s top-ranked offense. Freshman tailback Dominick Bragalone became the first Lehigh freshman to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season and was named Patriot League and ECAC Rookie of the Year as well as being named a finalist for the FCS Freshman Player of the Year award. Eight Mountain Hawks garnered All-Patriot League honors in 2015 with sophomore wide receiver Troy Pelletier and junior linebacker Colton Caslow recognized for the second time. Academically, 22 student-athletes were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, with seniors Cody Kondas and Chris Ruhl earning Academic All-League recognition. Ruhl was also a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection. Coen coached five All-Patriot League performers in 2014 including three-time All-League offensive tackle Ned Daryoush and punter Austin Devine. Pelletier was a finalist for the Jerry Rice Award, given to the nation’s top freshman. Off the field, senior wide receiver Josh Parris earning numerous academic honors including being selected as a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy. The Mountain Hawks posted their fourth consecutive winning season in 2013 with an 8-3 mark. Coen mentored nine All-Patriot League selections including wide receiver Lee Kurfis, who led the FCS in receiving yards per game and earned All-America honors. Under Coen’s guidance, Lehigh posted its third consecutive ten win season in 2012. Lehigh posted its fifth straight win over Lafayette and finished in the top 20 of both national polls for the third straight season. Coen coached 11 student-athletes to All-Patriot League honors, with a trio of seniors recognized as ECAC All-Stars. Seniors Zach Barket and Ryan Spadola were CoSIDA Academic All-District selections, while Barket became Coen’s first Academic All-American. In 2011, Coen guided the Mountain Hawks to their best season in a decade, one that featured an 11-2 overall record, a 5-0 Patriot League record and Lehigh’s league-leading tenth football championship. The Mountain Hawks won 10 straight games, including a 40-38 win at Towson in the second round of the NCAA playoffs. Lehigh finished in the top six in both polls and captured its eighth Lambert Cup en route to being named ECAC FCS Team of the Year. With quarterback Chris Lum leading the way, Lehigh ranked among the top five nationally in passing offense and scoring offense. Lum finished second in the voting for the Walter Payton Award. Five Mountain Hawks garnered All-America recognition, led by Lum and Spadola. Academically, Spadola and Barket were Academic All-District selections. The 2010 season saw Coen guide the Mountain Hawks to their ninth league championship and Lehigh’s first outright league title since 2001. The Mountain Hawks won ten games for the first time since 2001 and posted the first undefeated Patriot League season in seven years. Lehigh qualified for the NCAA playoffs for the first time since 2004 and went on the road to defeat Northern Iowa 14-7 for the Patriot League’s first playoff win in seven years, while finishing the season ranked 14th nationally. For his team’s success, Coen was named Patriot League Coach of the Year. Eighteen players were named to All-Patriot League teams, while four players earned All-America honors, including offensive lineman Will Rackley ’11 who was Lehigh’s first Associated Press first team All-America since 2004 and was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third round of the NFL Draft. The 2009 Mountain Hawks led the nation in sacks with 39 and ranked 12th in America in tackles-for-loss with 83. Linebacker Matt Cohen ‘10 became the first player during Coen’s tenure to earn a major award from the Patriot League as he garnered Defensive Player of the Year accolades. Cohen went onto earn All-America laurels from four different outlets while Rackley was honored by one. During the 2008 season, Coen led Lehigh to a 4-2 Patriot League mark, which included a 31-15 victory over archrival Lafayette. Nine players earned spots on the All-Patriot League teams, while four student-athletes garnered All-America accolades. Off the field, 12 Mountain Hawks were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, led by Brendan Van Ackeren ’09 who also earned a spot on the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Team. In 2007, Lehigh ranked second in the Patriot League in scoring defense (21.1 ppg) and scored 30 or more points on four occasions, including a 45-0 shutout win over Georgetown – the program’s first shutout victory since 2002. Coen coached 10 All-Patriot League selections and six All-Americans; marking the first time since 2004 Lehigh produced an All-American. Coen led the Mountain Hawks to a share of the Patriot League Championship in his first-ever season as a head coach in 2006. The Mountain Hawks boasted a balanced attack on both sides of the ball, topping the Patriot League in scoring offense (27.2 ppg) and defense (20.2 ppg). The New Jersey native mentored 14 All-Patriot League selections. Coen became the 28th head football coach in Lehigh history on January 3, 2006. That announcement marked his return to Lehigh, where he spent six seasons as an offensive line coach – including four as the team’s offensive coordinator. Coen returned to Lehigh from Penn, where he spent six years as the offensive coordinator with the Quakers. In his six seasons in Philadelphia, the Quakers captured three Ivy League titles, including a top ten national finish in 2003. In his first stop at Lehigh (1994-99), Coen was a part of three Patriot League championship teams, including the 12-1 1998 squad. That team set a school mark for the most wins in a season, while reaching the NCAA Division I-AA quarterfinals. Coen produced ten All-Patriot League offensive linemen at Lehigh, while his teams twice finished in the national top ten in passing offense (1996, 1998). During Coen’s tenure as coordinator, Lehigh produced four consecutive 1,000-yard rushers, including Rabih Abdullah ’97, who remains Lehigh’s all-time leader in rushing yards (3,696). Abdullah later went on to become the first Lehigh player to win a Super Bowl as a member of the 2004 New England Patriots. Before his original stint at Lehigh, Coen spent four seasons at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y.
