ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley women's basketball team held off a late rally from Alvernia in a 64-52 win in Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth play on Wednesday, Feb. 9 in Sorrentino Gymnasium. It's the second straight victory for the Dutchmen.
 
LVC shot out of the gate, racing to a 22-9 lead after the opening quarter, fueled by Kennedy Kuffa and Kate Fitzpatrick with eight points each. The Dutchmen continued to lead at halftime and through the third quarter.
 
Alvernia pulled to within 52-48 at 3:40 of the fourth, but three straight buckets by Fitzpatrick, Daelyn Stabler, and Samya Santiague provided some breathing room and stretched the lead back to eight.
