How It Happened
Stevenson held off Lebanon Valley, 11-6, in a twice-delayed Commonwealth Conference semifinal on Thursday.

The Dutchmen (10-7) received two-goal games from Tori Kuntz and Sam Boyce but couldn't answer aggressive play in the fan by the Mustangs (12-6), who scored six of their 11 goals on free-position shots. Stevenson advances to Saturday's CC final at Messiah; LVC awaits a possible ECAC Tournament berth when the field is announced Monday.

After a lengthy lightning delay about eight minutes in, Stevenson took control of the game with a 4-0 first-half run after early strikes by Kuntz and Emma Jones gave LVC a 2-1 lead. Kuntz and Anna Pagels scored inside the final five minutes of the half, but the Mustangs took a 7-4 lead into the half.

The teams barely got out of the locker room before they had to go back due to persistent lightning, and Stevenson scored three straight to open the second half and take a commanding 10-4 lead. LVC added two late goals by Boyce.
