ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. - Lori Lidlow scored 23 points to go with five steals as Lebanon Valley cruised past Elizabethtown, 72-51, in a Commonwealth Conference tilt Wednesday night at Thompson Gym.

The Dutchmen (11-4, 4-1 CC) picked up a crucial road win by inducing the Blue Jays (8-7, 2-3 CC) into 24 turnovers.

Four other Dutchmen joined Lidlow with double digits in the scoring column, including Eryn Schultz (15 points), Megan Bish (11 points), Suzie Noyes (11 points), and Andrea Hoover, who nearly pulled off a triple-double with 10 points, seven assists, and eight rebounds. Hoover and Chelsea Kehr each picked off three steals.

LVC was an outstanding 20-of-22 at the line, while only sending E-town to the stripe five times.

Megan Quinn led E-town with 11 points.

LVC took control early in the first half, erasing an early Blue Jay lead on Lidlow's three-pointer  five minutes into the game and never giving up the lead. After trading buckets, LVC hit a 10-2 run to extend their lead to 10, and they would take that margin into the break despite Courtney Kofeldt's late three-pointer to end the half.

The second half was all Lidlow as the sophomore scored LVC's first nine points of the period to help increase the lead to 14. The margin never dipped below 10 as the Dutchmen pulled away, and they ended the game with their largest lead at 21 after Bish's final layup.

The Dutchmen will take a break from conference play and host Franklin & Marshall this Saturday at 3 p.m.
