1993 Lehigh Engineers football team

The 1993 Lehigh Engineers football team was an American football team that represented Lehigh University during the 1993 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Lehigh won the Patriot League championship.

In their eighth and final year under head coach Hank Small, the Engineers compiled a 7–4 record.[1] Lance Haynes and Dave Cecchini were the team captains.[2]

Despite their winning record and league championship, the Engineers were outscored by opponents 336 to 309. Lehigh's 4–1 conference record nonetheless topped the six-team Patriot League standings.[3]

The championship was Lehigh's first in the eight-year history of the Patriot and Colonial leagues. Patriot League rules at the time prohibited members from participating in the postseason tournament. Lehigh was not ranked in the national poll; three of its four losses were to ranked opponents.

Lehigh played its home games at Goodman Stadium on the university's Goodman Campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
