BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Hayden Johnson threw for 178 yards and a touchdown, Luke Yoder rushed for two scores and Lehigh beat Georgetown 41-0 on Saturday to tie a program record with nine straight victories.

Lehigh (9-0, 4-0 Patriot) is tied with the 2012 team that went 10-1 for the longest win streak in program history.
