Leary announces 2009 baseball schedule
Lehigh baseball coach Sean Leary announced the 2009 schedule on Thursday, which includes trips up and down the east coast and appearances in the Palm Beach Challenge and the Liberty Bell Classic.
Leary’s squad will spend the first month of the season on the road, traveling to the warmer-weather South throughout the latter parts of February and early March. The Mountain Hawks open up with a trip to Hattiesburg, Miss., where they will play a three-game set with Southern Miss from Feb. 20-22. The opening weekend will be a challenge for The Mountain Hawks, as the Goldan Eagles won 41 games last season, including 25 in Hattiesburg.
Lehigh will follow up its Southern Miss. trip with a tour of the Potomac region, playing Maryland-Eastern Shore and George Washington, before heading to Palm Beach for Spring Break.
Last season, the Mountain Hawks enjoyed their time in sunny Florida, as they earned a 5-1 record at the Palm Beach Challenge. The Brown and White notched some impressive victories against Boston College, Notre Dame and in-state foe Penn. The Mountain Hawks even fit in a competitive game with then No. 6 Miami before heading back to the cooler Northern climate. FULL STORY

There are 56 games on the full 2008-2009 Rice schedule. The 52-game spring slate features 29 home games at Reckling Park and a total of 36 in the city of Houston.
