How It Happened
Koty Keefer buried his third goal of the game with 2.5 seconds remaining to give Lebanon Valley a thrilling 10-9 victory over King's (Pa.) on Saturday afternoon.

The reigning MAC Commonwealth Rookie of the Year put his attempt from the left wing past Monarchs' goalkeeper Derek Bowman just moments before the final horn sounded after LVC head coach John Haus called a crucial timeout with seven seconds to play.

The Flying Dutchmen (4-2) led 9-7 entering the fourth quarter but King's Brock Johnson and Brian Steiger scored back-to-back markers during a 1:06 span late in the period to even things up after LVC had scored four straight goals over a timespan that bridged the second and third quarters.

The Monarchs scored the game's first two goals before Brett Kudlak got the Dutchmen on the board with a strike off a Klayton Garman assist at the 6:54 mark.

Johnson scored the first of his four markers on the day at the 5:01 mark before Alex Bushong, Kudlak, and Brett O'Neill closed out the first quarter with back-to-back-to-back scores to cut tie the game at 4-4 after one.

King's posted the first two scores of the second period to go up 6-4 with 4:26 left before the break.
