ANNVILLE, Pa. -- Arcadia's men's basketball team won its school-record 20th game with a 75-62 victory at Lebanon Valley on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Knights, who have already secured the No. 1 seed in the MAC Commonwealth Championship, improved to 20-3 overall and remained perfect in league play at 14-0. The Dutchmen slipped to 7-16 on the season and 4-10 in the MAC Commonwealth.
 
Evan Slone and Phil Pierfy led the Knights with 16 points apiece, and Da'Kquan Davis added 11 as the Scarlet & Grey shook off a slow start before pulling away in the second half.
 
The Knights shot just 9 of 24 (.375) from the floor in the first half and found themselves trailing 26-25 at the break. In the second half, Arcadia's shooting percentage jumped to 61.5 percent (16-26), while LVC shot just 11 of 29 (.379), and AU outscored the Dutchmen 50-36 over the final 20 minutes.
 
A jumper by Pierfy followed by a three-point play from Slone gave AU a 30-26 lead to begin the second half. The Dutchmen quickly answered with a 7-0 run to regain a 33-30 lead with 17:47 to play. LVC's lead reached as many as seven points (44-37) on a Mason Green triple with 13:40 remaining before the Knights began chipping away.
 
A 13-6 run by Arcadia pulled the Knights even at 50-50 with just under 10 minutes to play as Davis converted a three-point play. The score remained tied (55-55) before three straight points from Slone put AU in front for good, 58-55, with 8:11 left. Slone made it five straight points with two more free throws for a 60-55 lead. The Dutchmen never got closer than three the rest of the way, and Arcadia held LVC to just four total points in the last 5:00 of the game in pulling away for the win.
