FROM KEITH GROLLER


Lehigh's come-from-behind 34-27 win over New Hampshire on Saturday has elevated the Mountain Hawks in the FCS national polls.
Lehigh (4-0) has moved up to No. 10 in the coaches poll and to No. 13 in The Sports Network poll.
Last week, Lehigh was No. 17 in the coaches poll and No. 21 in The Sports Network rankings.
Lehigh has another major showdown looming on Saturday in the Bronx against unbeaten Fordham.
The Rams are one spot ahead of Lehigh in The Sports Netwok poll, checking in at No. 12 and are three spots behind the Mountain Hawks in the coaches poll.
