After starting the season with three wins, the Engineers briefly appeared in the national Division II coaches poll rankings, at No. 6. A loss to Division I opponent Yale dropped them to No. 9. Following a loss the next week to Division II rival Bucknell, they fell out of the top 20. Lehigh remained unranked the rest of the year.
