How It Happened
ANNVILLE, Pa. – Behind a balanced attacked, Lebanon Valley's men's lacrosse team rolled Gordon College 14-7 on Tuesday afternoon in non-conference action. The Dutchmen jumped to 4-2, while the Fighting Scots dropped to 2-3.

LVC hopped out to a 3-0 lead after one quarter of action thanks to three different goal scorers. Just over a minute into action, Alex Bushong scored thanks to an assist from Matt Torrence, and later in the period, at 6:48, Torrence netted a goal from Max Warmingham, followed by Josh Croyle's unassisted tally with 32 seconds to go.

Early on the second, Gordon got one back with a man-up goal, making it 3-1, but Warmingham scored at 9:21 and Trevor Holak's score from Warmingham put the Dutchmen up by four at 5-1. The Fighting Scots made it a two-goal contest thanks to back-to-back goals at 5:17 and 5:05, but Koty Keefer's unassisted score put LVC back up by three at 6-3. With six seconds left in the first half, the visitors netted a goal, but the Dutchmen were still up by two at 6-4 after two quarters of action.
