Five Things To Know About Lycoming...
1. Lycoming is, like LVC, able to clinch a share of the MAC title with a win and an Albright loss.
2. If Lycoming beats LVC and Delaware Valley beats Albright, Lycoming would clinch the automatic berth to the NCAA Playoffs.
3. Colin Dwyer leads the MAC with 203.1 passing yards per game.

The Title Race
The year was 1969. Man walked on the moon, the Jets upset the Colts in Super Bowl III and the Miracle Mets won the World Series. And a few months after the hippies got together at Woodstock, Lebanon Valley won a share of the MAC title, something that hasn't happened since. Until, possibly, this weekend. With a win over Lycoming and a Delaware Valley win over Albright, the Dutchmen would clinch a share of their first MAC championship in 39 years. Although LVC can not clinch the MAC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament due to tiebreakers, the prospect of a conference title and a possible ECAC Bowl game is there for the Dutchmen.

Parker Looking For Touchdown Record
After returning from injury last week, junior running back Charlie Parker can now set his sights on becoming LVC's alltime leader in rushing touchdowns. He is currently tied for the record with Ken Wilson at 23; Parker is second on the career yardage list with 2,656 yards, behind Rick Coleman's 3,106.

Scouting The Warriors
Lycoming is in the same position that LVC is in — they must win and hope for an Albright loss to claim a share of the MAC title. The Warriors are coming off a stunning 24-7 loss to King's last week and will be looking to bounce back against LVC. Lyco has a balanced attack led by quarterback Colin Dwyer, who leads the MAC in passing with 203.1 yards per game. Meanwhile, on the ground, Josh Kleinfelter
is the MAC's third-leading rusher at 108.1 ypg. The receiving tandem of junior Brad Shellenberger and sophomore Ryan Wagaman has been the one of the top combos in the MAC. Shellenberger has 39 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns while Wagaman has 37 receptions for 434 yards and four scores. As a team, Lyco ranks among the leaders in most categories, including scoring offense (third at 22.2 ppg), scoring defense (third at 18.4 ppg), and total offense (346.6 ypg).

Last Year
It was a record-breaking day for Parker as he set the program single-season rushing record and tied a school single-game record with four touchdowns as LVC beat Lycoming , 28-14, on at Arnold Field. LVC did not commit a turnover but forced three interceptions (including two by Russ DeStefano) and two fumbles by Lycoming. Parker broke or tied three school records as he ran for 155 yards and all four of LVC's touchdowns. With his final run of the day, Parker finished the season with 1,105 yards, breaking the record of 1,103 set by Ken Wilson in 1989. Parker also set a season record for attempts with 241, and tied the single-game record of four touchdowns held by Rick Coleman (set in 1975) and Vern Magnuson (set in 1960). Early in the game, Parker became the fifth Dutchman to run for 1,000 yards in a season.
