BLACKBIRDS BEAT LEHIGH IN OPENER

Besides the tied score in the beginning, the game was one-sided. Lead by Sophomore Kyle Johnson and sparked by Freshmen Michael Culpo, the Blackbirds handled Lehigh.
When asked after the game, about his team's performance he coach simply said, "Good showing. We have a tough game ahead of us and I can assure you this victory will not be dwelled on."
