"I am very excited to see this group in action," said head coach Rob Herb. "They will absolutely have a major impact in our league. I'm expecting big things from our team."
The Mountain Hawks return a lot of talent from last year's young team, a team that exceeded expectations by going 6-1 during the dual meets. The Mountain Hawks then recorded a sixth-place finish at the Patriot League Championships, recording 312.5 points.
Let us officially introduce to you all the seven new members on the men's team. Coach Herb officially announced the 2020 recruiting class today. #GoLehigh pic.twitter.com/KypGV9wMiR
