How It Happened
OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Four players dropped 10 or more points to lead Lebanon Valley to an 85-75 victory over Stevenson on Wednesday night in MAC Commonwealth men's basketball action. The Dutchmen improved to 7-15, 4-9 MAC Commonwealth, while the Mustangs fell to 14-8, 8-5 MAC Commonwealth.
 
Early on, the game was tight with LVC leading 7-6 with 15:51 remaining in the first half. The Dutchmen then went on a 9-1 run, capped by an AJ Catanzaro layup from Chris Anderson, to take a 16-7 advantage. From there, LVC went on to extend its lead up to 17 at 28-11 after Mason Green dropped a trey with 8:19 left in the first. Stevenson cut its deficit to nine thanks to a 12-4 run that spanned over six minutes of action, but the Dutchmen increased their lead back to 13 eventually after Jaylen Reichner's 3-pointer. In the final second of action, Catanzaro connected a layup to give the visitors a 14-point advantage at 39-25 after one half of play.
 
In the second half, LVC continued to lead big in the early going and extended its lead to as many as 22 after Jeremy Deihm knocked down a jumper with 16:18 left to make it a 53-31 score. The Mustangs never went away for good, however, and continued to hang around. With 6:34 remaining, Stevenson finally cut LVC's lead to single digits after Cam Harris made a 3-pointer to make it 64-56, but the Dutchmen quickly responded with back-to-back free throws from Deihm, followed by a huge triple from Anderson to increase LVC's lead back to 13 at 69-56 with 5:22 remaining in the contest.
