How It Happened
With a playoff matchup looming next week, Lebanon Valley easily defeated MAC Commonwealth opponent Arcadia on Thursday evening the regular season home finale. Prior to the start of the match, seniors Alli Quirk, Emily Sides, Allie Garrett, and Rachel Moltz were honored on senior night.

First Set
In the opening set, the Dutchmen jumped out to an 8-4 lead and later extended the advantage to 11-5 off a Greta Weidemoyer service ace. The Knights came to within three at 12-9, but two kills from Quirk and an ace from Abbey Barnhart put LVC back up by six at 15-9. Arcadia made things interesting at the end of the set and came to within four at 22-18, but a Jess Attieh kill, bad set by the Knights, and Weidemoyer ace clinched the first set 25-18.

Second Set
The middle set was tied early on at 8-8, and again at 12-12 and 15-15. From there six consecutive Dutchmen points put them ahead 21-15. At set point, an Arcadia attack error gave LVC the 25-17 second-set win.

Third Set
In the third set, the Knights battled and jumped out to a 7-3 lead. A relentless Dutchmen offense, however, was clicking on all cylinders and came back to score 10 points in a row to overtake Arcadia at 13-7. The Knights never got close again, and LVC took the final set 25-18 in stylish fashion with a kill from the senior Quirk to end it.
