How It Happened
Lebanon Valley unleashed a record-setting offensive day as it made the long trip to Pittsburgh worth it in a 24-7 rout of La Roche.

Matt Lubawski and Alex Bushong scored four each to lead five Dutchmen with three or more goals as the Dutchmen (1-1) scored 10 straight goals across the first and second quarters to dominate the Redhawks (1-2). Koty Keefer scored all three of his goals in that run to help LVC take control after Klayton Garman's opener.

LVC ended the first half with man-up goals by Brett Kudlak and Garman, then outscored La Roche 8-0 in the third quarter - including a natural hat trick by Lubawski - to lead 21-2 and shut the door on any hopes by the home team.

Notables

- Ten different Dutchmen scored at least one goal and 13 scored points.
- Jeremy Beaver had one of the best face-off days in program history, winning 21 of 24 to spur LVC's first-half offensive outburst. That tied Scott Sutton '13's record of 21 also set against La Roche in 2012. John Kolp won three of eight in the second half.

- Kevin Masterson picked up the win in his first career start, and did not have a save while allowing only two goals. Eric Wilcoxson stopped three in the second half.
- Defensively, LVC led 59-25 on ground balls, but didn't have much to do thanks to their huge face-off advantage. Eli Hudson caused three turnovers and had eight ground balls, and Beaver added a game-high 12 scoops off the face-off.
