NEW YORK CITY - Six Dutchmen scored in double figures as Lebanon Valley cruised by New York City Tech, 94-66, on the first day of the New York University Holiday Classic Saturday.

The Dutchmen (6-4) showed no rust in their first game since Dec. 15 as they bolted out to a big first-half lead on the Yellow Jackets (0-9). LVC will play host NYU on Sunday at 6 p.m. in the first meeting between the two schools since the 1994 NCAA Championship game; the Violets were a 66-56 winner over Wentwerth earlier on Saturday.

Joe Meehan led the Dutchmen with 15 points and six assists in 23 minutes of work, and no one else played more than 20 minutes for LVC as coach Brad McAlester went to his bench early. Zach Kebetz drained 12 points to go with six boards, Sean MacIntosh and Dan Dunkelberger each scored 11, and Cameron Prince and Danny Brooks had 10 apiece.

Anthony Trautman had nine points, while LVC also saw Grant Becker return to the line-up for the first time since suffering a shoulder injury Nov. 24 against F&M.

Gabriel Davis had a game-high 27 points for City Tech, while Charles Fitzgerald had 14 points and 14 boards.

LVC scored the first nine points of the game and worked a 22-2 lead over the first six minutes, eventually extending that to a 54-24 advantage at the half.

The second half was more of the same as the LVC reserves saw significant time, with every player who dressed getting at least nine minutes of action. The Dutchmen shot 57 percent overall, including 9-for-17 for three and 11-for-13 at the line.
