Series History
Saturday's game between the Dutchmen and the Aggies with be the 37th meeting all time… Delaware Valley holds a 24-12 overall record and LVC's last win over the Aggies came on Nov. 2, 2013 when the Dutchmen won a 34-31 OT-thriller… These two teams first met on Nov. 13, 1965 when LVC defeated Del Val 34-18 in Annville.
 
Last Year Against Del Val
Lebanon Valley dropped a 52-7 decision to No. 21 Delaware Valley on Oct. 20, 2018 in the Dutchmen's annual Pink Game.
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.
 
Last Time Out
LVC outscored Widener 27-7 in the second half and overcame a 14-point halftime deficit, led by Hunter Wilson's five total touchdowns, to top the Pride 41-35 this past Saturday afternoon.
 
The second half was dominated by the Dutchmen on both sides of the ball. LVC trailed by two scores with Widener receiving the kickoff to start the second half of play but the Dutchmen defense would force a quick punt which would become a theme in the second half. The Dutchmen offense took the ball right down the field on their opening drive of the third quarter, punching it in on a three-yard carry by Wilson cutting the deficit to seven points with 9:18 to go in the third.
 
On the ensuing drive for the Pride, Widener would go three-and-out and have to punt again as the Dutchmen would take over on their own 20. The LVC offense would work their way down the field with little resistance until the Dutchmen were stopped on third down, forcing a fourth-and-three at the Widener 36. LVC would elect to go for it and the handoff to Wilson up the middle was initially stopped short, but Wilson's second effort would take him across the line to gain and give the Dutchmen a first down at the Widener 32-yard line. On the very next play, Kody Kegarise would fake the hand off and roll out to the right before finding Wilson on the far sideline for a 32-yard touchdown pass to tie the game, 28-28, with just over two minutes remaining in the third quarter.
 
The Dutchmen defense would again stifle the Widener offense and force another punt with 38 seconds remaining in the period. Logan Grauer would come flying in off the edge and block the punt followed by a scoop-and-score from 50 yards out by Travis Fischer and the Dutchmen took a 34-28 advantage into the fourth.
 
On the first drive for Widener after the blocked punt, Sean McGaughey would find James Gillespie for a 32-yard pick up for the Pride's first trip into LVC territory since the second quarter. On the next play however, McGaughey's pass would be intercepted by Anthony Jenkins. The Dutchmen would capitalize on the turnover when Wilson broke free up the middle, breaking a few tackles in the process, for a 63-yard touchdown score, his fifth touchdown on the afternoon, and LVC led 41-28 with just over 12 minutes to play.
 
Later in the quarter, Widener took another shot downfield after reaching Dutchmen territory, but this time it was Brendan Yetter picking off a McGaughey pass to keep the Pride scoreless for the half. The Pride would score late with just five ticks left on the clock on a Gillespie touchdown reception to bring the game within six. Widener would recover the ensuing onside kick at midfield giving the Pride one last chance, but McGaughey's Hail Mary attempt was intercepted by Joe Fay to put the nail in the coffin officially as the Dutchmen completed the comeback for the 41-35 victory.
 
Previewing with Coach Buehler
LVC head coach Joe Buehler '89 sat down for his weekly interview to discuss last weekend's huge come-from-behind win over Widener, Hunter Wilson's big day, and a look ahead to a tough Del Val squad.

 
Wilson, Grauer Earn MAC Honor
Earlier this week, Hunter Wilson and Logan Grauer were named MAC Football Players of the Week. Wilson earned Offensive Player of the Week honors and Grauer was named the Special Teams Player of the Week, respectively.
 
Wilson had a career day in the Flying Dutchmen's 41-35 come-from-behind win at Widener. After trailing by 14 at the half, Wilson led LVC to a 27-7 second-half advantage. The senior tailback totaled five touchdowns and 274 yards of offense. Wilson rushed 38 times for 235 yards and four touchdowns, while adding a pair of catches for 39 yards and one TD. He had two touchdown runs in the first half to cut the deficit to 28-14. Wilson then rushed for two more scores and caught another in the second half to push LVC ahead 41-28 with 12 minutes to go.
 
Grauer made a pivotal play in the Dutchmen's huge come-from-behind victory over the Pride. After trailing 28-14 at halftime and tying the game at 28-28 with two minutes left in the third quarter, Grauer came flying off the edge to block a Pride punt. It was then scooped up and scored by Travis Fischer to give the Dutchmen their first lead at 34-28 with 38 ticks to go in the third quarter.
 
LVC's Offense
Led by Wilson, LVC's offense awoke in the second half against Widener and outscored the Pride 27-7 in the second half last weekend. After Wilson's huge day, the Dutchmen are now atop the MAC in team rushing yards per game with 187.0, just above Alvernia, a school that's averaging 185.6. Individually, Wilson leads all MAC running backs with 140.2 yards per game, nearly a full 10 yards more per game than Jordan Downes of King's.
 
LVC's Defense
Similar to the week before against FDU-Florham, the Dutchmen provided another spark on defense against Widener when Logan Grauer blocked a punt that Travis Fischer scooped up and took 50 yards for a touchdown that gave LVC a 34-28 advantage, a lead in which the Dutchmen never relinquished. Dillon Estes ranks third in the conference with 59 total tackles, while Brandon Brubaker is tied for third with 4.5 sacks and third with 8.5 tackles for loss.
 
LVC's Special Teams
LVC's kickoff team, led by kicker Nick Bentz, is averaging 40.3 yards per kickoff, good for second in the league. Bentz has also gone 20-for-22 in point-after attempts, and has the longest field goal in the MAC this season with 49 yards. Grauer has now blocked five punts, PAT's, or field-goal attempts as well.
 
Scouting Del Val
The Aggies go into Saturday's game with a 6-1 overall record and have won 25 straight conference games dating back to week eight of 2016. Del Val's lone setback this season came at the hands of No. 22 Wesley when the Wolverines downed the Aggies 24-18 in 4OT back on Sept. 14. Last season, Delaware Valley went 9-2 overall and won the MAC, but lost to Muhlenberg 20-13 in the first round of the NCAA DIII Playoffs.
 
Who's Next?
LVC returns to the friendly confines of Arnold Field on Saturday, November 1, when the Dutchmen host Stevenson University. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. and the contest will serve as LVC's annual Pink Game.
