How It Happened
Lebanon Valley dominated at both ends of the field as it raced by Elmira, 15-4, at a rainy Arnold Field on March 14.

Jeremy Beaver, the reigning USILA national player of the week, won 18-of-20 face-offs to key LVC's 15-goal outburst. Klayton Garman scored five goals and Brett Kudlak handed out four assists as 11 different Dutchmen recorded a point.

The Dutchmen led 4-2 after the first quarter following two goals from Kudlak and strikes by Garman and Alex Bushong, but Elmira pulled it within a goal when Eric Hallman struck down a man in the first minute of the second. That would be Elmira's final goal, however, for a whopping 43:57, as LVC scored the next 11 until the final seconds of the fourth quarter.

Mason Hoff hit to start the run, and Austin Minnich worked a caused turnover into a goal midway through the half. LVC scored four in the final 1:47 of the half - three of them by Garman, including two in the final 16 seconds - to take a 10-3 lead into the half.

Bushong, Koty Keefer, Matt Aldridge, and Garman scored in a 4-0 third, and Brian Kilonsky netted his fourth of the season in the fourth before Elmira scored with 16 seconds remaining.

Notables
- Garman's five-goal game marked a career-high for the junior as he takes over the team lead with 15 points this season. 
- LVC dominated the game with a 53-23 shots advantage. Transition defense was key as the Dutchmen never allowed Elmira to settle, holding the visitors to a 16-for-27 clear rate including three 30-second violations.
- Beaver improved his season face-off percentage to .716 with another big day on the dot. 
- Alex Bushong recorded his fourth straight multi-goal game with two strikes, and both Koty Keefer and Kudlak extended their point streaks to five games.
- Kevin Masterson improved to 3-1 with a six-save, three-goals-allowed performance that spanned a half and part of the third quarter. Eric Wilcoxson did not allow a goal and made two saves in 21:17, and Sam Peters finished the game in relief. Wyatt Katsos (0-1) stopped 15 for Elmira.
- Blake Weaver paced the defense with two caused turnovers and three ground balls. Eli Hudson was a key possession-winner off face-offs with six ground balls from the wing to complement Beaver's game-high 10.
- For the fourth straight game, LVC did not allow a man-up goal, holding Elmira 0-for-4 while converting 2-of-5 chances. The Dutchmen have not allowed a man-up goal in their last 259 minutes of play.
