How It Happened
Lebanon Valley wrapped up the 2017 portion of its schedule with a decisive 91-55 blowout victory over Bryn Athyn in Bethlehem, Pa. on the final day of Moravian's Greyhound Classic on Sunday evening, Dec. 31.
 
Sam Light was the game's high scorer and finished with 24 points. Zach Tucker finished one rebound shy of his first career double-double with 10 tallies and nine boards, while Andy Orr and Chris Anderson just missed out on double digits with nine points apiece.
 
The Flying Dutchmen (9-4) turned a game that was competitive in the early going into a laugher by halftime. LVC took its first double-digit lead of the night when Light converted a pair of free throws to make it 25-14 at the 8:46 mark, and Andrew Eberhart's layup off a Tucker assist just before the break made it 45-21.
 
Light stayed hot in the second half and buried back-to-back 3-pointers to put Lebanon Valley out in front by 30-plus with 13:38 left to play.
 
LVC head coach Brad McAlester looked to his bench to close things out and the group answered the call. Luke Stambaugh knocked down a triple to make it an 84-46 game and Jordan Abdo buried a jumper from beyond the arc off a Justin Baker find to give the Dutchmen their largest lead of the game at 39 points with 1:45 remaining.
