MBB Ends Season By Beating Wilkes, 76-70

Box Score

ANNVILLE, Pa. - Playing in their final career games, seniors Kyle Enoch and Eric Humphrey scored 24 and 14 points, respectively, to lead Lebanon Valley to a 76-70 season-ending win over Wilkes on Saturday.

The Dutchmen finish the season 12-13 by knocking off the Colonels (14-10), who will enter the Freedom Conference playoffs as the #4 seed.

Enoch, Humphrey, and Dustin Kerns, who scored six points, were honored before the game along with senior managers Kristen Mauser and Amanda Edgar and senior cheerleader Danielle Cowdell for their four years of dedication to the men's basketball program.

Enoch ends his career with 1,188 points, 17th-best in program history. He and Humphrey were key in a second-half run that took the lead and put LVC in control of the game.

Tom Kresge scored 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for Wilkes in 31 minutes before fouling out.

Wilkes controlled the early tempo, going up by six, but Humphrey fired the crowd up with a monster full-extension dunk to start a rally that would cut the lead to a point midway through the half.

The Colonels pulled back out by six, but Enoch scored eight points in a 16-second span over the end of the first and start of the second halves to give LVC the lead. Enoch first drained a three-pointer with four seconds to go, then picked off Chris Gulla on the in-bounds and hit a 12-foot jumper as time expired to make it 31-30 Wilkes. Then, on the first possession of the second half, Enoch drained a deep three-pointer to take a two-point lead.

The teams traded the lead until Humphrey converted a three-point play and Joe Meehan added a give-and-go jumper off Humphrey's assist to go up four.

Wilkes came back to tie the game on Steve Kline's layup, but Enoch and Sean MacIntosh buried four consecutive three-pointers as part of a 12-4 run to secure the game. Wilkes never got closer than six points as an inspired Dutchmen team shot 56 percent in the second half, including seven three-pointers.
