Bethlehem, PA: The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks are excited to announce that a member of the Lehigh University Mountain Hawks is graduating into the professional ranks of the Steelhawks indoor football game. Matt Lippincott (6'3, 200) joins the team to compete for a spot along the offensive line.

Lippincott is a native of the Lehigh Valley, graduating from Wilson High School in Easton. He went on to study Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh where he was also a three year starter on the Mountain Hawk offensive line. He has experience at both guard spots as well as center. Lippincott anchored a line that led the Mountain Hawks to a 36-7 record in three years. He added two Patriot League titles to his successful career at Lehigh and strives to make an impact on the Steelhawks quest for a PIFL championship.

While the Steelhawks are busy gearing up with the latest crop of talent, former Steelhawks are preparing for AFL camps, all vying for roles on their respective teams.
