How It Happened
HARRISONBURG, Va. – Lebanon Valley scored four goals in the second half and Rob Hanosek netted a hat trick as the Dutchmen cruised past Eastern Mennonite by a 5-1 score on Saturday afternoon. The Dutchmen improved to 4-3, while the Royals dropped to 3-4-1.

Hanosek netted the game's first goal when he controlled the ball after an EMU turnover and muscled his way through the defenders and scored to make it 1-0 LVC in the 12th minute of action. Later, in the 41st minute, the Royals evened the match at 1-1 after EMU drew a foul in the box and was awarded a penalty kick. Erik Peachey took the kick and scored to knot the game at 1-1 heading into the second half.

The Dutchmen exploded in the second half and netted four goals. The spark proved to be when a Royals' player was called off for a red card, and just 30 seconds later, in the 63rd minute, Hanosek scored his second of the game thanks to Tanner Therit's assist after a short corner. Just three minutes later, Hanosek netted his third of the game when he tapped in Braydon Shuck's centering pass to make it a 3-1 score.

Then, at the 85-minute mark, Caleb Cekella scored his first collegiate goal to give LVC a comfortable 4-1 advantage, and at 89:04, Anderson Velozwong put the icing on the cake with his first career goal, as the Dutchmen came away with the convincing 5-1 victory.
