How It Happened
Andy Orr, Sam Light, and the rest of the Flying Dutchmen shot the lights out in the second half en route to a decisive 82-58 road victory over MAC Commonwealth foe Alvernia on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 20.
 
Orr scored 26 points and pulled in seven rebounds to go along with two assists and a block, while Light poured in a game-high 28 tallies in addition to his five boards, three assists, and a pair of steals.
 
As a whole, Lebanon Valley (12-6, 6-3 MAC Commonwealth) shot 63.3 percent from the floor after halftime and turned a close game at the break into a rout. LVC opened the second half with a 33-27 advantage before proceeding to blow the doors off thanks to a game-changing 19-2 run.
 
Light netted 12 points to lead the way during the crucial six-minute span, while Orr, Will Boccanfuso, and Ricky Bugg combined for the rest of the output. Just like that, the Dutchmen led 52-29 with 14:10 left to play.
 
The visitors took their largest lead of the day at 26 on three separate occasions as the second half wound down. The first came when Andrew Eberhart knocked down a jumper to make it 62-36 with 10:03 remaining. Light's 3-ball with 7:01 left made it 70-44 and Zach Tucker's jump shot in the paint solidified things at 78-52 with less than four minutes on the clock.
 
The reserves finished things off, with Justin Abdo and Brett Gilbert's buckets in the final minute putting a cap on the game's scoring.
