How It Happened
WEST CHESTER, Pa. – No. 11 Lebanon Valley defeated West Chester 4-1 for its 10th consecutive victory, its longest streak since becoming a club team. The Dutchmen improved to 11-2-0-0, while the Golden Rams fell to 6-8-0-0.

In the first period, both teams could not find the back of the net until West Chester's Walsh scored with just over a minute and a half remaining to make it 1-0, a lead that the Golden Rams held after one period of action.

In the second period, the Dutchmen evened the game at 1-1 when Bryan Hovanec netted a goal off an assist from Travis Hall. Midway through the period, the Dutchmen went ahead for good when Zach McKown scored off of a pass from Hovanec. Shortly after LVC went ahead, starting goaltender Joel Eisenhower made a huge stop to preserve the 2-1 lead. Later in the period, Travis Acker extended the Dutchmen's lead to 3-1 off an assist from Jake Thomas.

LVC held that advantage when the second-period buzzer went off, and in the third period, Jacob Horst scored just under four minutes in to seal the victory for the Dutchmen.
