Football Beats Albright, Students Set for Traditional March to President's House

If one was to look up 'rivalry' in the dictionary, there may be a picture of Albright vs. LVC football. The Dutchmen confirmed that notion this afternoon in a thrilling season finale against the Lions.

Lebanon Valley saved its most exciting game of the season for last, and didn't disappoint the big crowd on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10 at Arnold Field. In the 98th all-time meeting between the Dutchmen and Lions, fans were treated to one of the most nail-biting games in recently memory, and LVC came out on top thanks to Steve Salerno's 20-yard rush in double overtime, which sealed the victory for the Dutchmen on a frigid fall afternoon. 

Thanks to the win, the LVC student body will now march to Kreiderheim, home of President Lewis E. Thayne, and request the day before Thanksgiving (Nov. 21) off from class. That day is scheduled to be a half-day of classes. The 2016 season was the first time since 2011 that an orderly mob of Dutchmen, led by the football team and Annville fire police and personnel, marched from Arnold Field up the hill to Kreiderheim, where they were granted the day off by President Thayne. The march is set for Monday, Nov. 12 at 4 p.m.
