How It Happened
GRANTHAM, Pa. – Lebanon Valley dropped a 77-64 contest to the Messiah Falcons on Thursday night's Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) men's basketball action. The Dutchmen are now 7-17, 4-11 MAC, and the Falcons advanced to 10-15, 6-10 MAC.
 
Messiah took an early lead in the first half going on a 10-point run and leading by eight points. With 12:59 to go, the Falcons led by 11 points (17-6). The Dutchmen weren't phased and stayed right along side of the home team. LVC went on a point-run of their own, started off by Jaylen Reicher, Lebanon Valley went on a significant run, and the score was tied at 19-19 with 8:35 remaining in the first half. Messiah regained the lead, but LVC stuck with the Falcons and entered the second half down by three points at 35-32.
 
Both teams stayed neck and neck for the start of the second half, but Messiah led by as much as 10 points with 8:13 to go in the game after sinking four from beyond the arc. The Falcons went on another point run, creating a 19-point separation, and the gap ended up being too large for the Dutchmen to come back from and Lebanon Valley fell 77-64.
