How It Happened
ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley earned its fourth consecutive victory after pulling away from Hood late in the fourth to come away with a 13-10 win over the Blazers on Wednesday afternoon in MAC Commonwealth men's lacrosse action. The Flying Dutchmen jumped to 6-5, 2-0 MAC Commonwealth, while Hood dropped to 8-2, 1-2 MAC Commonwealth.
 
LVC held a narrow 9-7 advantage heading into the fourth quarter, but back-to-back goals from the visitors at 12:04 and 11:15, respectively, tied the game at 9-9. Just under three minutes later, Trevor Holak scored what proved to be the game-winner from Evan Crawford to put the home team up 10-9. Kevin Beaver added two straight goals, his 34th and 35th of the season at 5:24 and 3:44, followed by another tally from Crawford, this time from Matt Torrence, to give LVC a four-goal lead at 13-9 with 2:03 to go. The Blazers' Kyle Scott netted a goal after the ensuing faceoff, but from there, the Dutchmen were able to run out the clock and hold on for the three-goal win.
 
Early on, Hood jumped out to a 3-2 lead with 6:30 left in the first and that score stood after one quarter of play. The Dutchmen overtook the advantage in the second thanks to four consecutive scores. Josh Croyle netted his first of the day, followed by Beaver's first at 13:22 of the second. Croyle later scored his second of the day and Max Warmingham gave the Dutchmen a 6-3 lead with 10:20 left in the quarter. The visitors netted two straight to come to within one at 6-5, but Croyle found the back of the net for the third time, followed by Beaver's second. The Blazers scored late in the second, but LVC was still up by two at 8-6 after two periods of action.
