Reisinger The Towerlight BETHLEHEM, Pa. � After the clock hit zero at the end of Towson's game against Lehigh Saturday, it was hard to tell which team won the game by looking at the players. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the scoreboard showed the only story that mattered, as the Mountain Hawks overcame a banner game from Towson (6-3, 4-1) senior quarterback Joe Lee to pull out a come-from-behind victory, 44-39. It was the 20th consecutive regular season win for Lehigh (8-0, 3-0), and put the Mountain Hawks in first place in the Patriot League with three weeks left in the season. ""We just ran out of time today against a good Lehigh team,"" Head Coach Gordy Combs said. ""That's why they're undefeat-ed."" Towson gave Lehigh its biggest scare of the season, thanks to the arm of Lee, who threw for a school and league-record 576 yards in the loss. After the game, Lehigh Head Coach Kevin Higgins praised Lee's performance. ""I can't say enough about [Lee],"" Higgins said. ""He's got such a quick release and gets the ball to the receivers in traffic."" After last year's 55-7 drub-bing of Towson, very few of the 10,000-plus fans in attendance expected Saturday's contest to even be close, but Lehigh quar-terback Phil Stambaugh, the 1998 Patriot League Player of the Year, knew better. ""That was a very good foot-ball team we played,"" he said. ""It was a shootout until the end. I give them a lot of credit for coming here for the second year in a row and just playing us well."" See COMEBACK, page 18 Adam S &Langer The Towerhght Senior quarterback Joe Lee hooked up with sophomore wide receiver Jamal White 10 times, including this screen pass in the fourth quarter to set up a touchdown, giving Towson a 39-37 lead with five minutes left. TU wary after UMCP e-mail threat University of Matyland students and faculty are threatened in mass Halloween e-mail Dave Foster The Towerlight Although Towson University has never suffered a threatening mass e-mail like the one distrib-uted to more than 20 students and faculty members named ""Lisa"" at the University of Maryland last week, Towson officials do not take the issue any less seriously. Bill Leimbach, director of Computing and Network Services said anyone harassing a student or faculty member via e-mail are reported to Judicial Affairs or their immediate supervisor respectively. At Maryland, the unknown suspect threatened more than 20 women named ""Lisa"" saying he had been watching them, was familiar with their daily mutine and wanted them dead, with him, on Halloween. The suspect signed only his first name, which University of Maryland Police would not dis-close. Leimbach said the very nature of the Internet often is a major contributor to instances of e-mail threats and other Web-based criminal activity. ""The ability to become anony-mous or hide behind a fictitious name increases the boldness of people to perform inappropri-ately. When inappropriate behaviors occur at Towson, the University takes action,"" Leimbach said. Any person caught abusing their computer privileges may have those privileges revoked or restricted and be referred to local, state or federal authorities. However, if the harassment is not reported to CANS Leimbach said, nothing can be done about it. ""If the problem is not reported, it cannot be effectively handled See THREAT, page 8 Today High 74 Low 51 Tuesday High 63 Low 54 Wednesday High 50 Low 41 Thursday High 51 Low 28 "
