Game-By-Game Look
9/4 vs. Gettysburg College
For the 10th straight year, LVC and Gettysburg will meet in the season opener. LVC has won four of the last six in the series, including a memorable 47-42 win in Gettysburg in 2009.
9/11 vs. Grove City
LVC will meet Grove City for the first time since 1959 and second time ever as part of the first year of the PAC-MAC Challenge, which pits members of the Presidents' Athletic Conference against MAC opponents with the same finish in the 2009 standings. LVC will make a return trip in 2011.
9/18 vs. Moravian
The former conference foes meet for the 67th time in the final non-league game. Moravian will try to avenge a 32-3 loss to the Dutchmen in 2009.
10/2 at Delaware Valley
Lebanon Valley will start the MAC campaign against the defending champion and one of two teams to beat them in 2009. Del Val won, 28-7, in Annville last fall.
10/9 vs. Wilkes
LVC will try to make it three in a row against Wilkes after a tight 21-18 win in 2009. Ben Guiles ran for 187 yards in that game and LVC held Wilkes to just 168 yards of total offense.
10/16 vs. FDU-Florham
The Devils visit Annville for Oktoberfest Weekend looking to snap a five-game losing streak to the Dutchmen. Lebanon Valley had no trouble with a 40-14 win in Madison in 2009.
10/23 at King's
LVC's second road trip of the year will be to King's, who the Dutchmen defeated handily 40-14 last year behind 220 yards rushing combined by Charlie Parker and Ben Guiles.
10/30 vs. Widener
After shutting out the Pride 24-0 in 2009, LVC will look to keep up the defensive pressure as Widener comes to Arnold Field. Their last meeting in Annville was a memorable 20-13 LVC overtime win on Oktoberfest Weekend 2008.
11/6 at Lycoming
The road finale will see LVC visit Lycoming after a key 31-21 win last year. LVC has won three of the last four against the Warriors after 21 straight losses in the series.
11/13 vs. Albright
One of the most thrilling games in LVC history came in the regular-season finale at Albright last year when the Lions made a huge comeback to win 44-43 in two overtimes, securing an NCAA berth in the process. It will be the 90th meeting dating back to 1898.
