Last Year
Eric Shorter's 92-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter proved the difference in no. 24 Delaware Valley's 28-21 victory over Lebanon Valley at Robert A. Lipinski Field last Halloween. Shorter's grab gave the Aggies the lead for good with 8:05 left to play. The Flying Dutchmen had tied the score at 21-21 on the previous possession, a 10-play, 42-yard scoring drive capped by Tim Pirrone's seven-yard touchdown pass to Travis Saylor at the 8:52 mark. Del Val scored the fourth quarter's first points, breaking a 14-14 tie when quarterback Dashawn Darden found Michael Jensen for an 11-yard touchdown pass on third-and-goal with 12:46 remaining. The score capped an impressive 17-play, 74 yard drive that chewed up over eight minutes of clock. Linebacker Tom Gallagher made the key play of a scoreless third quarter when he picked off a Darden pass deep in Dutchmen territory following a bad snap on an LVC punt attempt on the previous drive. It was the game's only turnover. Trailing 14-7 late in the second quarter, Lebanon Valley drew even with the home team when Ryan Fink pushed across the goal line from one-yard out to finish off a dominant 16-play, 70-yard scoring drive that saw the Dutchmen convert a crucial fourth-and-5 from the Aggies' 27-yard line with 2:49 left until halftime. Delaware Valley used some trickeration to grab its first lead of the day when Darden, James Norton, and Tyler Bing executed the hook-and-ladder to perfection, resulting in a 30-yard touchdown that made it 14-7 Aggies with nine minutes left in the second quarter. After falling behind 7-0 to open the game, DVU went 68 yards in 11 plays to get on the board on the team's second possession. A three-yard touchdown run by Armani Fuller-Williams capped the scoring drive that took up 4:51. LVC struck first, moving 63 yards to paydirt in 13 plays on the team's second possession. Fink's touchdown plunge from one yard out accounted for the game's first points and Marcus Brown's extra-point made it 7-0 Dutchmen at the 5:56 mark of the first quarter.  

Last Week
Turnovers and an inability to finish inside the red zone cost Lebanon Valley in its 21-17 loss at King's on Saturday, Sept. 24. The Dutchmen had to dig themselves out of an early 14-3 hole after the Monarchs scored touchdowns on their first two drives. King's quarterback Zach Whitehead capped his team's nine-play opening possession with a touchdown run from one yard out to put the Monarchs ahead 7-0 just 2:51 into the contest. LVC responded with a nine-play drive of its own on the team's ensuing possession. The Dutchmen stalled inside the King's 10-yard line but kicker Marcus Brown got his team into the scoring action with a 25-yard field goal with 8:10 left in the first quarter. The Monarchs added a second score when Whitehead rushed for his second touchdown of the day, this time from two yards out with 4:54 remaining in the opening quarter. The quarterback's run to paydirt finished off an 11-play, 75 yard. Cornerback Spencer Moser sparked Lebanon Valley when he intercepted Whitehead on King's next drive and returned the ball 35 yards to the Monarchs' 27-yard line. The Dutchmen turned the pick into points when quarterback Tim Pirrone sprinted 27 yards and into the end zone on the very next play to cut the deficit to 14-10 with 13:59 left in the second quarter. Midway through the quarter, LVC forced another turnover when Adam Wagaman recovered a Devon Weidman fumble. Again, the Dutchmen capitalized when Pirrone capped the ensuing 12-play, 63 yard drive with a two-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dylan Berberick. The score gave LVC its first lead of the day at 17-14 with less than two minutes left in the first half. The Monarchs showed off their quick strike offense on the next possession, however, and Whitehead moved King's 57 yards in five plays. The drive culminated with a 25-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Tyler Marroni with 54 seconds left until the break. With less than four minutes left to play, LVC used seven plays to move to within yards of the King's red zone and looked to regain the lead for the first time since the second quarter. Facing a 3rd and 13 at the Monarchs' 25-yard line, Pirrone was intercepted while trying to connect with a Dutchmen receiver near the goal line. King's Jake Manetti made the pick at the 3-yard line, giving the ball back to the home team with 3:41 remaining. The defense had the Monarchs pinned in deep but Alvonte Thompson's 17-yard rush gave King's enough breathing room to run out the clock and escape with the slim victory.

Coach To Cure MD
The Dutchmen coaching staff will participate in LVC's seventh annual Coach to Cure MD game this afternoon, an effort by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) to raise funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. After AFCA members around the country wore a Coach to Cure MD logo patch on the sidelines, LVC's coaches will do the same today. Fans will also be asked to donate to research projects supported by Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. Fans can donate to Duchenne muscular dystrophy research by either going online to www.CoachtoCureMD.org or by texting the word CURE to 90999 (a $5 donation will automatically be added to your next bill).    

Running Down History
Thanks to back-to-back seasons racking up more than 1,000 rushing yards as a sophomore and junior, tailback Brendon Irving joined former running back and current assistant coach Ben Guiles as the only LVC players to scamper for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons. If Irving becomes the first player in program history to surpass the 1,000-yard mark three seasons in a row, he'll also overtake Guiles as LVC's all-time leading rusher. The senior posted his first 100-yard rushing game of the season last week at King's and currently ranks third all-time with 3,363 rushing yards. He needs 562 more to set the program's career record.  

Mr. Versatility
Junior Spencer Moser has shown off his ability to do a little bit of everything for LVC through the first four games of 2016. The team's leading tackler has made 30 stops on the season, including 24 solo tackles. He's added one tackle for loss and a team-high four pass breakups. Last week against King's, Moser picked off his first pass of the fall and returned it 35 yards to set up Lebanon Valley's first touchdown of the game. The 2015 D3football.com All-Region punter has continued to be a threat for the Dutchmen special teams unit. He's punted 13 times this season for a total of 467 yards, pinning the opposition inside its own 20-yard line on four occasions with a long kick of 50 yards.

It's Been a While…
After dropping decisions at Stevenson and King's the past two weeks, LVC is looking to avoid losing its third consecutive game. The Dutchmen haven't lost three games in a row in the same year since the 2014 campaign when they started the season 0-5.

Safety First (Year)
The collegiate careers of a pair of freshmen safeties in Brendan Yetter and Anthony Jenkins are off to strong starts. Yetter has started all four games, while Jenkins was the team's leading tackler at Franklin & Marshall in the season opener. Yetter pulled down his first interception during LVC's week two win over Wilkes and currently ranks fourth among Dutchmen with 19 tackles. Jenkins is one of just five LVC players to record a sack this fall. He's added a pass breakup and currently ranks fifth on the squad with 16 total tackles.

Noting LVC's Offense
Lebanon Valley's offense is averaging 18.5 points per game on 333 yards of total offense per outing. LVC's bread and butter continues to be its rushing attack, as the Dutchmen offensive line is making way for the team's backs to rack up a MAC-best 226.3 yards on the ground per game. Tailback Brendon Irving surpassed the 100-yard mark for the first time this season against King's last week and has now rushed for 300 yards on the year. Tim Pirrone has also proved a threat to use his legs, as the quarterback has rushed for more than 200 yards and leads the team with four rushing touchdowns. Pirrone's also thrown for 413 yards and a pair of scores. Travis Saylor is the team's leading receiver with 11 catches for 107 yards, while fellow wideout Gary Wise and tight end Dylan Berberick have each caught one touchdown pass.

Noting LVC's Defense
LVC's defense is allowing nearly 24 points a game – a number the unit is looking to improve upon with each passing week. The group is surrendering 352 yards of total offense per contest, with 179 of them coming on the ground and 173 coming through the air. The Dutchmen have given up eight rushing touchdowns and have allowed five scores via the aerial attack. Spencer Moser is the team's leading tackler. The cornerback has made 30 stops with one tackle for loss, an interception, and four pass breakups. Tommy Garner leads all LVC linebackers with 21 tackles and an interception, while Austin Maguire is tops among linemen with 10 stops. Linebacker Dylan Lobach has the team's lone forced fumble of the season, while lineman Adam Wagaman made the recovery.

Noting LVC's Special Teams
Lebanon Valley's kickoff coverage is tops in the MAC in terms of net yardage, as kicks are traveling an average of 55.1 yards per attempt, while the opposition is only returning those kicks an average of 15.5 yards. The Dutchmen are also one of just four teams in the conference still perfect on field goal attempts, with kicker Marcus Brown converting both of his attempts thus far this fall. Michael Gaval has returned 12 kicks this season and is averaging more than 20 yards per attempt. The senior currently ranks 10th in the MAC in all-purpose yards with 88.5 per contest. Punter Spencer Moser is averaging nearly 36 yards per attempt and has pinned the opposition inside its own 20-yard line on four occasions this year.    

Scouting Delaware Valley
Delaware Valley suffered its first loss of the season in heartbreaking fashion last week when the Aggies surrendered a touchdown to the defending MAC champions from Albright in the closing moments to fall 20-17. The loss dropped DVU out of the D3football.com Top 25 poll after the team was ranked No. 14 a week ago. The Aggie defense is surrendering the fewest points per game among any team in the conference and has shown a knack at getting to the quarterback as Del Val leads the MAC with 14 sacks on the season.

Falling From the Ranks
Prior to their loss to Albright last week, the Aggies had been nationally ranked as highly as No. 13 in the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Top 25 poll and No. 14 in the D3football.com Top 25 poll. But after falling to the Lions in the final seconds, Delaware Valley is now receiving votes in both polls. DVU is receiving more votes than any non-top 25 team in the D3football.com poll and is the team receiving the second most votes in the AFCA ranking.

Bouncing Back
Delaware Valley has a history of coming back strong after a loss. The Aggies haven't lost two games in a row since the 2014 season when they dropped the regular-season finale at Widener before falling to Christopher Newport in the opening round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs.

Who's Next?
The Dutchmen are back at Arnold Field for the second week in a row as part of Lebanon Valley's annual Homecoming Weekend celebration. LVC hosts Widener at 1 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 8. The contest against the Pride is the team's final game before the bye week.
