How It Happened
Lebanon Valley dropped a 52-7 decision to No. 21 Delaware Valley on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 20, in the Dutchmen's annual Pink Game. The Aggies improved to 6-1, 5-0 MAC, while LVC fell to 0-7, 0-5 MAC.
 
The game started off in quite the interesting way, as the Dutchmen's Nick Bentz opening kickoff was an on-sides kick, and it was Bentz who recovered it to give LVC the ball at its own 46. On the ensuing play, Kody Kegarise tossed a 42-yard pass that was caught by Zeke Wassell to give the Dutchmen a first down at DelVal's 12-yard line. After three consecutive rushes for loss, however, LVC's 30-yard field goal attempt was pushed right, and the Aggies began their first drive of the contest. DVU went 79 yards down the field in 4:53, but on fourth down, Dashawn Darden rushed for two yards but was stopped short on fourth and goal and turned the ball over to LVC on downs.
 
Later in the first, Darden finally broke through with a nine-yard touchdown run with 3:32 remaining in the first to give the Aggies a 7-0 advantage after the point-after attempt was good. Then, just three seconds into the second quarter, Shaveiz Stewart caught a 16-yard pass from Darden to cap a four-play, 80-yard drive for DVU to put it up 14-0. After the Dutchmen were unable to push points across the board, DelVal's Mario Nigro responded with a 14-yard run to cap a 65-yard drive for the Aggies. With four seconds remaining in the half, Darden tossed his second TD of the season with a 32-yard pass to John Graham, and DVU went into second-half action with a 28-0 lead.
 
The Dutchmen finally lit the scoreboard with 9:40 left in the third when Kegarise delivered a pass to his favorite target of the day, Wassell, for 16 yards for the touchdown. The long pass ended LVC's impressive 10-play, 80-yard drive that last 5:18.
 
Unfortunately, that's all the offense that the Dutchmen could muster, as the Middle Atlantic Conference's (MAC) top scoring defense took over from there and didn't allow LVC to attempt a comeback bid. DelVal added three more TD's and a field goal and went on to win 52-7.
 
Inside the Numbers
 - Kegarise finished 12-for-25 through the air for 228 yards and one touchdown. He was sacked six times by the MAC's top defense and one of the best in the nation.
 - Steve Salerno rushed five times for 30 yards.
 - Wassell finished with a team-best four catches for 80 yards and a TD.
 - Adam Domovich averaged 35.8 yards on four punts this afternoon.
 - Anthony Jenkins finished with 11 tackles, while Brandon Brubaker added six.
 - Tyler Gerhart, Zachary Adams, Trent Donlan, and Austin Maguire chipped in four tackles apiece on defense.
 - The Aggies' Darden went 17-for-22 for 233 yards and three touchdowns. He added 73 rushing yards and one score.
 
Who's Next?
