How It Happened
ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley women's basketball team fell 68-47 to Messiah University in their 2021 home opener. LVC falls to 0-2 while the Falcons now sit at 2-0.
Neither team was particularly sharp on the offensive end to start the game as the first point wasn't scored until a Megan Zimmerman free throw two and a half minutes into the contest. The game didn't see its first field goal until the 5:06 mark of the opening quarter when Kennedy Kuffa hit a short jumper. Messiah would hold a slim 11-8 lead after one.
Messiah would put some room between them and the Dutchmen in the second, holding LVC to 14.3% shooting in the frame and the Falcons outscored LVC 20-7 to take a 16-point lead into halftime. The Dutchmen would never quite get within striking distance in the second half as LVC dropped their second game in as many nights to the Falcons.  

Inside The Numbers
  • Daelyn Stabler led the Dutchmen with 12 points. She also added six rebounds. She was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line.
  • Emily Mealey finished with a game-high 13 rebounds. She also added nine points along with Kennedy Kuffa and Samya Santiague.
  • Leah Springer paced a balanced Messiah attack with 14 points. Megan Zimmerman and Jayneisha Davis each chipped in with 13 apiece.
  • Davis posted a double-double for Messiah with her 13 points and 10 boards. She also added five steals and four assists.
  • LVC struggled from the field shooting 25% and were just 1-for-9 from three. Messiah finished at 40.3% shooting and also had a tough time from beyond the arc, going 2-for-18.
  • The Dutchmen were strong from the free throw line going 20-for-22, good for 90.9%.
  • LVC committed 19 turnovers while Messiah turned it over 12 times.
Who's Next?
The Dutchmen are back on the hardwood next Thursday night when they host new MAC Commonwealth foe, Eastern University, at 7 p.m. in Sorrentino Gymnasium.
