Scranton, Pa. - Visiting Lebanon Valley College held Marywood University to single digit points in the opening two quarters en route to a 61-35 win over the Pacers in the women's basketball season opener for both teams Friday evening at Marywood's Insalaco Arena.

LVC jumped out to a big lead early, going up 11-0 before allowing Marywood's first bucket with 2:16 to go in the first quarter. The Dutchmen led 19-5 after the first quarter of play, then outscored Marywood 10-7 in a tighter second to take a 29-12 lead into the break.

In the third, the Dutchmen tacked on another 19 points to extend their lead to 48-25 after three, and closed with a one-point (13-12) advantage in the fourth for the 61-35 win.
