How It Happened
In its first NCAA DIII game since 2010, Lebanon Valley's men's ice hockey team was narrowly defeated by Stonehill College 3-2 on Saturday night at Hersheypark Arena. The Dutchmen fell to 0-1 and the Skyhawks improved to 1-0.

Zach McKown scored the first goal of the game, an unassisted tally that put LVC ahead 1-0 just 2:46 into the opening period. Stonehill struck back at 17:02 and tied it when Conor Cassidy netted an unassisted goal. The 1-1 tie held up after 20 minutes of action.

12:20 into the second period, LVC went ahead 2-1 when Brennan Thompson found the back of the net off assists from Eric Higgins and Cody Pessig and the Dutchmen went into the third period clinging to a 2-1 lead.

7:12 into the third period, the Skyhawks were on the power play and Connor Collier tied the contest at 2-2 thanks to an assist from Evan Jacques. Then, at the 12:48 mark, Cameron Wright scored what proved to be the game-winner for Stonehill. The Dutchmen had some scoring opportunities late in the third, but the Skyhawks were able to hold on for the narrow victory.

Inside the Numbers
 - Tonight's game featured a whopping 13 penalties, seven by LVC and six from Stonehill.
 - Chase Wilson was solid in between the pipes but was charged with the loss. He made 15 saves, while Stonehill's Billy Palmer was impressive and made 41 saves.
 - As a team, the Dutchmen led in faceoff wins at 41-37. McKown won 10 faceoffs and Brett Johnson was successful nine times.
 - Brad Nolan recorded a team-high seven shots and Johnson added six, while Mike Straub and Bryan Hovanec each had five.

What They're Saying
"Tough loss," said LVC head coach Don Parsons. "We outplayed them, just couldn't put them away, and their goalie played very well."

Who's Next?
The Dutchmen are back at it again tomorrow against Stonehill at 2 p.m. at Hersheypark Arena.
