How It Happened
ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley's win streak was halted by Arcadia after suffering a 14-6 setback to the Knights in the Flying Dutchmen's seventh annual Crosse Out Cancer game on Saturday afternoon at Arnold Field. LVC fell to 6-6, 2-1 MAC Commonwealth, while Arcadia improved to 7-5, 2-1 MAC Commonwealth.
LVC struggled to find the back of the net for most of the day, as the Knights brought strong defense and goaltending into Annville this afternoon. The visitors jumped out to a 3-1 advantage with 6:28 left in the first, but
Nicholas Harbst brought the Dutchmen back to within one at 3-2 with 8:38 to go in the second quarter. From there, Arcadia went on a three-goal run to take a 6-2 lead into halftime.
Coming out of the halftime break, the Knights picked up where they left off in the second and netted three straight to begin the third to go up 9-2.
Evan Crawford stopped Arcadia's run with an unassisted goal with 7:26 remaining in the third, but the visitors netted two straight to end the third and go up 11-3.
Matt Torrence found the back of the net early in the fourth, and later
Kevin Beaver added a man-up goal, followed by
Michael Fisher's second of the day with just under five minutes left, but it wasn't enough as Arcadia went on to hold comfortably at 14-6.
