The Dutchmen also finished the first half of Commonwealth Conference play at 7-0, combining four players with double-digit scoring with 19 team steals along with a commanding 46-25 rebounding advantage.
Hoover entered the game with 995 career points and reached 1,000 in just a minute, scoring the first eight points of the game for LVC and reaching 1,000 on a steal and breakaway layup.
