How It Happened
READING, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley women's ice hockey team picked up their first win of the season with a resounding 4-1 victory over Alvernia university on Saturday afternoon. Four different Dutchmen recorded a goal on the evening.
The Dutchmen got on the scoreboard in the first period when

Midway through the second period, the Dutchmen would get a power play opportunity after an Alvernia boarding infraction. LVC would capitalize on the man-up chance when
Mychaela Pitta found the stick of
Katie Pounder as the Dutchmen doubled their lead, 2-0. The score would remain 2-0 after two periods. Olivia Gilida would pick up a PP goal for Alvernia midway through the third period to cut the LVC lead in half with just over ten minutes in regulation.
The Dutchmen would put the game on ice late in the third as
