Box Score WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University football team fell to the Lehigh Mountain Hawks 21-19 at Cooper Field on Saturday evening.

ON THE RECORD
"This was a typical Patriot League game. We did a nice job of staying in the game and creating some explosive plays tonight. I'm really proud of our guys for the way they trusted and relied on each other to make some plays and to get that last drive. Any time you get the chance to tie the game up late, it's super exciting. We're an extremely talented team that plays hard, that made some mental errors and Lehigh took advantage. Tonight was a very characteristic, one-score Patriot League game." - Head Coach Rob Sgarlata on tonight's contest against Lehigh
