PHILADELPHIA, PA — For the second straight year, the heated rivalry between Lincoln and Cheyney universities took center stage on the football field.

The only difference from last year’s clash — the first following a 53-year hiatus — was that this time the Lions were making their historic Division II debut. Everything else about Lincoln’s defensive-minded 12-0 triumph Sunday at Northeast High School in Philadelphia was all too familiar.

The Lions made more than their share of mistakes, only managed to find the end zone once and were generally displeased with the margin of victory.
