How It Happened
ANNVILLE, Pa. – Lebanon Valley and Stevenson combined to make six 3-pointers in the game, luckily for the Dutchmen, all six came off the hands of Morgan Bamberger who poured in a career-high 26 points as LVC ran away from the Mustangs 64-52 on Saturday afternoon. The Dutchmen celebrated their 13th annual Pink Game today as they showed their support for breast cancer awareness.
 
Picking up the action in the third quarter with LVC holding a 26-24 halftime lead, Bamberger would knock down one of her six 3-pointers to open the second half to push the Dutchmen lead out to five. The quarter would remain close throughout with Stevenson finishing the period on an 8-2 run to grab a 46-43 lead with 10 minutes to play.
 
The fourth quarter was dominated by the Dutchmen as they outscored Stevenson 21-6 in the final 10 minutes. The Dutchmen scored the first 10 points of the frame including a pair of triples from Bamberger to flip the script and give LVC a seven-point lead. Bamberger would pour in 11 of her 26 points in the fourth quarter and the Dutchmen ran away from Stevenson pushing their lead out to as much as 13 points to cruise to the 64-52 win.
 
The first half was a struggle offensively for both sides with the Dutchmen shooting 31.8% and Stevenson just 23.1% from the floor in the first two quarters. Each team found themselves in foul trouble with each committing 11 fouls in the first half, leading to a combined 33 free throws. LVC would hold a slim two-point lead at the break.
