<p>BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Connor Degenhardt passed for two touchdowns and <a href="https://twitter.com/HCrossFB/status/1370817991236009988">Derek Ng added a school-record 51-yard field goal</a> as Holy Cross survived early turnovers and defeated Lehigh 20-3 on Saturday.</p>
<p>The Crusaders (1-0, 1-0 Patriot League) were their own worst enemy, losing the ball to a fumble and an interception on their first two drives of the spring season.</p>
<p>The fumble recovery by Lehigh’s Pete Haffner set up a short drive but the Mountain Hawks (0-1, 0-1) missed a short field goal. Two plays later, TyGee Leach picked off Degenhardt’s toss to the flat, leading to Dylan Van Dusen’s 23-yard chip shot and a 3-0 lead at just over four minutes into the game.</p>
<p>Holy Cross took notes and scored touchdowns off of turnovers on its next two possessions. The Crusaders Jacob Dobbs recovered a fumble after a sack, setting up a three-play drive with Dean Nagle catching a four-yard wobbly, tipped pass right at the goal line.</p>
<p>John Smith intercepted Cross Wilkinson on Lehigh’s next possession and Degenhardt threw his second TD, a 14-yarder to Ayir Assante.</p>
<p>Neither team generated much offense, the Crusaders picking up 209 total yards to 137 for Lehigh. Each team turned the ball over three times.</p>
