If You Only Know Five Things...
1. Coming off 208 yards against Wilkes, Ben Guiles needs 36 yards to become LVC's all-time rushing leader. He had his career-best game against King's last year with 262 yards and three touchdowns.
2. A victory over King's would put LVC at 7-3 and in a good spot for a third consecutive ECAC Bowl invitation. LVC was 8-2 in 2009 and 6-4 last season.
3. The King's game is Senior Day for LVC, and the Dutchmen will honor their senior student-athletes before the game.
4. Wide receiver Tim Picerno and punter Colt Zarilla are the reigning MAC Offensive and Special Teams Players of the Week, respectively.
5. LVC clinched its fourth consecutive winning season last week at Wilkes. The last time a senior class graduated with four winning seasons was 1963, when the Dutchmen finished a six-year streak of winning seasons.

Series History
The game is the 13th meeting all-time ... The series is knotted at 6-6 ... LVC has won four in a row ... King's had won four straight before that ... During LVC's four-game win streak, two games have been blowouts (2008, 2009) and two have come down to one score (2007, 2010) ... They have met every year since 2003 ... The first meeting was Sept. 30, 1995 at King's, an 18-11 LVC win ... Coach Jim Monos is 6-4 against the Monarchs ... LVC is 5-7 on Nov. 12.

Senior Day
Before the game, LVC will honor its senior football student-athletes, cheerleaders, trainers, and equipment managers. The Class of 2012 is one of the most successful in school history, winning 27 games and being the only senior class in school history to go to back-to-back postseason bowls. They are the first senior class since 1963 to have a winning record every season.

ECAC Bowl In LVC's Future?
A win today would give LVC a 7-3 record and a solid shot at their third consecutive ECAC Bowl appearance. LVC qualified with an 8-2 record in 2009 and 6-4 last season. The bids will be announced Monday.

Guiles Chases Rushing Record
After breaking the career touchdown and scoring records, one final record remains for Ben Guiles - LVC's all-time rushing yardage mark. With 3,672 yards, he needs just 36 more to surpass Charlie Parker '10 for first all-time.

Winning Ways
With last week's victory at Wilkes, LVC secured its fourth consecutive winning season. It's the first time that's happened since 1963, when the Dutchmen capped off six consecutive winning seasons.

Picerno, Zarilla Earn MAC POTW Honors
Wide receiver Tim Picerno and quarterback/punter Colt Zarilla were named the Middle Atlantic Conference Offensive and Special Teams Players of the Week, respectively, for Week 10. Picerno caught a career-high three touchdowns and 198 yards on seven receptions against Wilkes, including two fourth-quarter touchdowns that included the eventual difference maker. Zarilla dropped two of his four inside the 20, including one at the Wilkes 2-yard line deep in the fourth quarter. Only one of his punts was returnable, for three yards. His biggest contribution came in the second quarter, when he faked a punt at midfield and hit Macke Hall for a 26-yard first down pass, leading to a touchdown later in the drive that put the Dutchmen ahead.


Noting LVC's Offense
LVC's offense came up big at Wilkes, going off for 42 points and 513 yards behind big performances by Ben Guiles, Colt Zarilla, and Tim Picerno ... Guiles ran for his second career 200-yard game, racking up 208 yards on 27 carries with a touchdown ... Guiles averaged a whopping 7.7 yards per carry ...

Joey Miller had one catch for nine yards, and linebacker Macke Hall made his first career catch for 26 yards on a fake punt by Zarilla ...

Center Sam Colletts and right guard Matt Clark are the only two offensive linemen to start every game this year ... The Dutchmen have four freshmen backing up o-line spots this week ...

Cory Homer had another big game with 13 tackles, including 2.0 for a loss ... His defensive linemates also came up big as Wes Rockwell (5 T) and Kevin Smith (7 T) each had a solo sack and combined for another ... Andrew Hurst had 2.0 hits behind the line as part of a nine-tackle day at Wilkes ... Clay Chaney also had eight stops ... Melley broke up three passes including his interception ... Nate Kauffman, Macke Hall, and Ian Bond all had bust-ups ... LVC held Wilkes to 4-of-7 in the red zone.

Noting LVC's Specialists
Colt Zarilla, the MAC Special Teams Player of the Week, had one of the plays of the game against Wilkes when he faked a punt to Macke Hall for a first down, setting a touchdown later in the drive ... Zarilla also dropped two punts inside the five, and had only one of four returned for a total of three yards ... Sean Fakete became LVC's single-season PAT leader, booting four for his 34th of the year ...
Ben Guiles ended up taking three kick returns for 82 total yards, contributing to his 290 all-purpose yards, the third-most in school history ... Kelly Saylor had one punt return for six yards ... Todd Mika got a short kick back for five yards ... In addition to his big receiving day, Tim Picerno snagged two on-side kicks in the fourth quarter ... Pete Panichi and Jake Zeigler return to the return two-deep for the King's game.

Last Year vs. King's
Ben Guiles ran for 262 yards and three touchdowns, including two in the final three minutes of the game, as Lebanon Valley came back late and then held off King's in a wild finish to win, 21-19. Guiles finished with the second-best rushing performance in LVC history, just five yards shy of Charlie Parker '10's school record of 267 yards. He scored all three of LVC's touchdowns, and Brittany Ryan tacked on a 24-yard field goal. The LVC defense did not allow King's an offensive touchdown, with the Monarchs getting four field goals from Ryan Cain and an 86-yard kick-off return by Jay Torres with 2:07 left in the game.  The score stood at 12-9 until deep into the fourth quarter, and the two teams combined for three touchdowns over a 1:26 span late in the game. After an LVC drive sputtered at the King's four, the Monarchs were forced to punt, but Cain's punt was shanked for just nine yards, setting LVC up on the 14-yard line. Guiles ran it in on first down to retake the lead at 15-12, and after a three-and-out, Guiles was dancing into the end zone again, this time from 15 yards out, to seemingly secure the game with a 21-12 lead. Torres, however, took the kickoff 86 yards to the house, giving the Monarchs a glimmer of hope for their first win, but Cain's onside kick was recovered by LVC, and Guiles ran out the remaining 2:06.

King's Quick Look
The Monarch have struggled to a 1-7 record, with six straight losses. Their last two games have been close, however, with a 13-6 loss to crosstown rival Wilkes and a 17-3 setback against FDU-Florham last week. Quarterback Joe Kirchon has thrown for 978 yards and four touchdowns, with Jay Torres leading receivers with 503 yards. King's rushes for just 75 yards per game, led by Eric Ofcharsky's 256 yards this year.

Next Time Out
LVC has finished the regular season but will hope for an ECAC Bowl bid when the pairings are announced on Monday.
