IMMACULATA, Pa. - The #17 Lebanon Valley women's basketball team used an enormous second-half surge to overtake Immaculata in a 69-48 road win Thursday night.

The lead changed hands three times in the first four minutes of the half before LVC got a jumper in the paint by Caitlin Murphy that opened a 16-3 run and propelled the team to a 13-point, 52-39 lead. Fritz and Bach combined for 11 of the 16 points.

The Dutchmen shot a combined 43 percent from the field, including a 7-for-9 night from Fritz and 5-for-9 nights from Bach and Hiltz.
