Over the weekend, the football team competed in its last game of the season against Albright College.
In the team’s 100th meeting against Albright, the Dutchmen came out on top. The team crushed Albright with a final score of 25-2. The big win brought the team’s final record to 5-5.
In addition to the exciting win against Albright, one LVC football player had a standout performance.
Tim Ervey, a junior running back, scored two touchdowns and had 271 rushing yards, breaking the single-game program record. Ervey’s stellar performance earned him MAC Offensive Player of the Week.
“It’s a great feeling to set the single game rushing record, but even though it’s in my name, that record is all credit to the offensive line, fullbacks and tight ends,” Ervey said. “They deserve a lot of credit for what goes on in the trenches.”
Ervey ended the season with eight touchdowns and 683 rushing yards. Thanks to Ervey and the team’s performance against Albright, students earned a day off from classes.
Year after year, students march to Kreiderheim when LVC beats Albright, the team’s oldest rival. As tradition holds, LVC students marched to Kreiderheim, home of President MacLaren, on Sunday to request off from class the day before Thanksgiving.
“It was an amazing feeling to send off some of the seniors who have put so much work into our program with a great win and it was great to know we would be able to march to Kreiderheim and carry on that tradition,” Ervey said.
The last time students marched to Kreiderheim was in 2018 when LVC beat Albright in double overtime.
President MacLaren granted students the day off on Wednesday, Nov. 24.
