The Tournament

The four-team tournament has #1 seed Alvernia hosting #4 seed Messiah at 7 p.m. Lebanon Valley is the #2 seed hosting #3-seeded Widener. The winners of each semifinal will meet Saturday at the higher seed for the championship. The winner receives an automatic berth to the NCAA Division III Tournament. Lebanon Valley has not been to the CC final since 2004-05, and has not won a title since 1994-95. Widener last won in 2008-09, capping an unprecedented four straight CC crowns.

How They Got Here

Lebanon Valley (19-6, 10-4 CC) won 10 straight games to finish the regular season in second place in the Commonwealth Conference. They punched their ticket on Feb. 15 with a win at Elizabethtown. Widener (13-12, 8-6 CC) entered the final day of the regular-season in a four-way race for the final two playoff spots, and after a win over Lycoming in double overtime, got the other results to break its way to clinch the third spot.

The Season Series
LVC and Widener split their season pair, with each winning at home. Widener is the last team to have beaten Lebanon Valley, winning 71-70 back on Jan. 15 when BJ Smith's desperation 65-foot shot fell at the buzzer. Since then, however, the Dutchmen have won all 10 of their games, including a 91-77 victory at home on Feb. 5. Trautman scored 29 in that game, and Joe Meehan added 19.

The History
Historically, the LVC-Widener series has been extremely competitive, with the Pride holding a 40-38 all-time advantage. In the playoffs, however, it has been all Widener, as they've won all five meetings. The last time the two teams met in the playoffs was 2003-04, when Widener won 63-54 in the CC Semifinals. LVC has never hosted Widener for a playoff game; all five losses came on the road.
