ST. DAVIDS, Pa. – Zach Tucker went off for 17 points and eight rebounds as the Lebanon Valley College men's basketball team dropped a tough 76-72 decision at Eastern University on Tuesday evening after rallying from a 19-point deficit in the second half in the regular season finale for the Dutchmen.   
 
Eastern made 11 three-pointers shooting an amazing 44% from behind the arc to take their biggest lead of the game at 60-41 with 16:44 left in the half. The Dutchmen chipped away at the lead and got within two points following a three-pointer by Tucker with 2:52 left. LVC had a chance following a stop at the other end but a jumper by Ryan Harden just rimmed out and the Eagles hit a three to go up by five.
 
Inside the Numbers

• The Dutchmen put four players in double figures as Evin Timochenko scored 16, Collin Jones had 13, and Payton Lewis added 11 points.
• LVC outscored the Eagles in points in the paint (44-30), points off turnovers (20-11, and fastbreak points (11-7).
• The Dutchmen scored 36 points in both halves while holding the Eagles to 29 in the second half after the hosts scored 47 in the first half.
