Franklins and Lehigh Go Undefeated
The Main Line League "B" Division opened this weekend
with some great competition. Both the Franklins and Lehigh University started
off their seasons on the right foot with two wins apiece. The Franklins bested
YOE Polo 15-8 and then LaSalle University 6-3. Lehigh University opened with a
win over Franklin & Marshall 13-8, followed by a victory over the Drexel
Dragons, 11-7.
The defending champion Patriots were a little weaker than last season due to
the fact that they are now fielding an "A" Division team as well. The
depletion in talent led to a split as they lost to 2011 runner-up K & M
5-11 and then bounced back to beat the Villanova Wildcats 11-6.
The Main Line League hosts competition at Villanova University during the
winter each year, with this season including 19 teams in two divisions. Next
competition for the "B" Division occurs February 4th, while the
"A" Division begins January 29th.
