Field Hockey Earns Important 3-2 Win Over Eastern

ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley College field hockey team began a huge week on Arnold Field with an important 3-2 win over Eastern University in Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth action on Wednesday evening.
 
The Dutchmen improved to 6-7 overall and 2-2 in the conference with the victory and stay tied for the fifth and final postseason spot with four game remaining. LVC got on the board just 51 seconds into the game as Skylar Dise found the back of the cage off a pass from Emily Kline on a penalty corner attempt. The Dutchmen used another great defensive performance to keep the one-goal advantage through halftime. In the third quarter Lebanon Valley increased their lead to 2-0 when Gracie Johnson scored off a great pass from Sorrell Long 2:31 into the half. Six minutes later Long assisted on another goal as Rebecca Lane fired a shot from the right wing into the back of the cage. Eastern (4-9, 1-4 MAC Commonwealth) scored two goals in the fourth quarter including a penalty stroke goal with 1:16 left.
