How It Happened
Lebanon Valley unleashed a big second half to overcome a halftime deficit and beat Albright, 15-9, in their regular-season finale Wednesday night.

The Dutchmen end the regular season at 10-6 overall and 6-2 in Commonwealth Conference play. They will visit Stevenson on Wednesday, March 29 in a CC Tournament semifinal at a time to be announced.

Tori Kuntz scored four goals and Emma Jones and Bailey Benz added hat tricks to pace the Dutchmen, who trailed 6-5 at the break but outscored the Lions (8-7, 2-5 CC) 10-3 in the second half.

It was a tale of two halves as Albright outshot LVC 12-10 in the first but the Dutchmen worked a 20-4 advantage in the second and gained the upper hand in the circle with an 8-5 second-half draw control edge. LVC wrapped a 7-0 run around the break, which included all three of Jones' goals and strikes from Kuntz, Benz, Jenny Simensky, and Sam Boyce to swing a 6-3 deficit into a 10-6 lead.

LVC's defense held Albright to only three second-half goals, and two tallies from Kuntz and another by Benz mid-half sealed the deal as Anna Pagels and Emily Moatz added last-minute scores.
