How It Happened
Lebanon Valley went up big early and never looked back, going wire-to-wire in a crucial 80-58 road win over Hood. The victory sweeps the season series from the Blazers (9-10, 5-5 CC) and puts LVC (11-8, 5-5 CC) back into the fifth and final playoff spot.

The match-up of the Commonwealth Conference's top two scorers in LVC's Kevin Agnew (23.1 ppg) and Hood's Chris Cook (21.5 ppg) went Agnew's way as the senior drained 31 points and Cook was held to a season-low four points on 1-of-10 shooting. Agnew flirted with a triple-double, adding seven rebounds and seven assists to three steals

The Dutchmen led by as much as 15 in the first half, but really put the pedal down in the second half after a double technical on Hood's Terell Buyck sparked a 13-1 LVC run to put the visitors up by 26 points at 60-36. The Dutchmen would not trail by fewer than 20 the rest of the game

Notables
- Kevin Agnew turned in one the best free-throw shooting nights in program history, making 19-of-20 at the stripe. That topped his previous career best of 16 (set last year against Albright) and is second only to the record of 22 set by LVC Hall of Famer Howie Landa '55 in 1954. Agnew is one of only five players in NCAA Division III this season with 19+ free throws in a game.
- Agnew became the 10th player in LVC history to reach 1,400 career points; he now has 1,420 points. 
- Travis Conrad's 17 points were a career high as the sophomore drained 5-of-10 from beyond the arc and pitched in five rebounds.
- Andy Orr fell a point shy of a double-double with his team-high 10 rebounds and nine points.
- LVC's defense came to play, holding Hood to 26 percent shooting in the first half and 31.7 percent for the game. The Blazers had 19 turnovers, 13 of them generated, as five Dutchmen recorded two or more steals.
- Freshman Ricky Bugg earned his first career start, scoring four points with two rebounds. 
- LVC drained 10 three-pointers on 25 attempts, with five different Dutchmen (Agnew, Conrad, Orr, Zach Mrozek, and Vince Soto) hitting long balls. Hood was only 6-of-30.
- Hood's James Brown led the home team with 15 points and eight boards; Trevor Magnuski snared a game-high 11 rebounds.
