How It Happened
Lebanon Valley won its fourth in a row and completed the season sweep of Arcadia with an 81-75 victory over the Knights at Sorrentino Gymnasium on Wednesday night, Feb. 8.

Andy Orr led the way for the Flying Dutchmen (15-8, 9-5 MAC Commonwealth), posting a double-double with a team-high 20 points and 13 rebounds. Sam Light added 17 points, while Travis Conrad and Caleb Barwin netted 11 points apiece.

Trailing 49-47 with 12:12 left to play, LVC took control of the game over the next four minutes when the team put together a 17-4 run capped by a Barwin three-ball to make it 64-53 with 8:06 remaining.

The Knights (9-14, 4-9 MAC Commonwealth) cut the deficit to single digits when Brandon Thompson converted the second of a pair free throws but a layup by Orr and Barwin's ensuing triple pushed the advantage back to 13 with 5:32 left.

Arcadia made a late push and pulled to within a more manageable seven points with one minute remaining but the visitors were forced to foul in the closing seconds. Light buried a pair from the charity stripe to seal the valuable conference victory.
