How It Happened
Lebanon Valley led for just 1:04 in the team's 61-51 road loss to Commonwealth Conference foe Arcadia on Wednesday night.

Trailing by as many as 14 points with 4:10 left to play, the Flying Dutchmen (13-7, 5-7 CC) used a 13-4 run to cut the deficit to five when Taylor Umbrell knocked down a jumper in the paint with 1:12 remaining. LVC was forced to foul in the final minute and the Knights (11-10, 7-5 CC) went 5-for-6 from the line to put it away.

The Dutchmen trailed 27-24 at intermission and Arcadia scored seven of the second half's first nine points. The Knight advantage ballooned to 50-36 when Maureen Fiocca converted from beyond the arc with 7:53 left. Bridget Rothert took over for LVC and scored 11 straight during the Dutchmen's late run but it proved too little too late.

Arcadia took its largest lead of the first half at seven with 8:34 remaining. A pair of Rothert free throws and an Umbrell 3-pointer drew the Dutchmen to within one moments before the break.

Lebanon Valley grabbed its only lead of the night when Rothert knocked down a 3-ball to make it 8-5 at the 16:20 mark.
