ANNVILLE, Pa. - Lebanon Valley broke three program records, including a pair by
Kristen Zartman, as they split with Messiah on Senior Day Saturday.
The women won 124.5-79.5, while Messiah won the men's meet 141-51 in what was the final tune-up for both squads before MAC Championships in two weeks' time. The men and women both finish with 6-6 records, the first time in program history they've both been .500 or better in a season, and the best finish ever for the women.
