 Winter sport season began this week with the first swimming meet against Albright.  Although in team scores Albright beat LVC, individually LVC had 19 qualifiers for MAC and multiple record setters during the meet.

One record setter was Julia Mongeau, '14, a health science major, broke the record for 100-meter breast stroke and the 200-meter free relay, with a time of 1:21.18 and 2:01.32 respectively. Additionally Mongeau's fourth place in 200-meter free style qualified her for MAC's later this year.

Coming up for the Dutchmen is an away game against Arcadia this Saturday.

Rich Drazin

A new year at LVC, starts a new season and a new league for the LVC Ice Hockey team.  In the past, ice hockey has struggled to achieve a 500 record, but this year the team is already (4-0).  The great start might be attributed to an easier league or the players are getting better.

One in particular outstanding player is Rich Drazin, '11, business administration major, who has been the goalie for the Dutchmen since freshman year.  So far this year Rich has had 108 saves in four games.  His overall save percentage for the three years is .854.

Coming up for the Dutchmen is a home game against Kutztown University this Friday.  The games are held at the old Hershey Bear's Arena, so please come out and support the team.

LVC Volleyball is still undefeated in the conference with a record of 6-0, and overall record of 19-8.  The Dutchmen are just one win away from claiming the top seed in the conference playoffs for the third straight year.

On Tuesday, volleyball rolled over Alvernia with a score 3-0.  Michelle Little, '11, psychology major, lead the team in kills with 11, which gave her a .333 hitting percentage.

For her career, Little has 814 kills and 810 digs, which makes her the third ranked player for kills and attacks.  Coming up for the Dutchmen is a tournament against Scranton this Saturday and a match against Elizabethtown on Wednesday.

Ben Guiles

Homecoming, a day to catch-up with alumni and a day to watch FOOTBALL and what a day it was.
Football won an exciting game, coming back from a 21 to 0 deficit to beat FDU-Florham in the fourth quarter.  Also there were wins by field hockey, women's soccer, and volleyball.

Ben Guiles '12, a business administration major, tied a school record for most touchdowns in the second quarter, with four altogether.  This allowed LVC to win the game 33 to 21.  Ben is the leading scorer this year for the Dutchmen, with ten touchdowns this season.  His hard work paid off by being named to the Middle Atlantic Conference football honor roll.  Also the game marked his 2,000 career rushing yards. Next week the team takes on Kings at 1pm. 

Emily Perkins

Volleyball clinched a playoff spot when they defeated Messiah on Wednesday.  This will be the teams eighth straight appearance in the conference playoffs.

Emily Perkins '11, an accounting major, holds the team record for most assists in a career, with a total of 3,065.  During the match against Messiah, Perkins had 36 assists and eight digs.  Currently, Perkins is ranked 22nd in the nation for assists, but I would bet that will change when the season is over.

Coming up for the Dutchmen is a tournament at MIT this weekend.  The team is also looking to achieve its third straight Commonwealth Title this season and make it into the NCAA's.
