"Lenoir-Rhyne's first and only National Championship came on Dec. 10, 1960, when the Bears defeated Humboldt State (Calif.), 15-14, at the Holiday Bowl Stadium in Saint Petersburg, Fla.\n\nThe national championship season of 1960 may have  overshadowed the fact that in 1959 and 1962 the Bears reach the finals as well."\n\nFrom the media guide at the link below
