The Muhlenberg women's basketball team was delayed about 45 minutes on its way to play Dickinson due to heavy traffic on I-81.

In the game, it was the Mules who put up the roadblocks.

Muhlenberg put forth its stingiest defensive effort in a Centennial Conference road game in eight years, allowing only 12 field goals in a 48-35 win.

Junior Leanna Tallamy (19 points, 9 rebounds) and senior Erin Laney (10 points, 8 rebounds) just missed double-doubles for the Mules, who last gave up so few points on the road in a 75-34 win at Washington during the 2005-06 season.

With their fourth straight win, and sixth in the last seven games, the Mules (11-7, 8-4) remained a game behind third-place McDaniel, their opponent at home on Saturday, in the CC standings.

Muhlenberg hit some snarls of its own on offense at the start of the game and trailed 10-9 with about nine minutes left in the half. But the Mules held the Red Devils (4-13, 1-11) to just one field goal over a span of more than nine minutes, closing the half on a 21-6 run to take a 14-point lead into the locker room.

Tallamy (pictured above) scored nine of her points in the run, two after hustling after a teammate's airball, throwing the ball to junior Nicole Pepe while falling out of bounds, and getting a return pass from Pepe for a jumper that beat the shot clock.

Pepe punctuated the half-ending surge by nailing a three from the wing at the buzzer.

Muhlenberg led by as many as 17 points in the second half. Dickinson drew to within six with 6:30 left, but again the Mules closed out strong, not allowing a field goal the rest of the way.

Tallamy, who led Muhlenberg in scoring for the seventh straight game, also blocked two shots.
