Box Score: Gettysburg | Baruch

The Muhlenberg volleyball team remained alive for a Centennial Conference playoff berth with a 3-0 sweep of Gettysburg.
 
The Mules went on to sweep Baruch as well in their "home away from home" matches played at Moravian due to setup in Memorial Hall for tomorrow's presidential inauguration.
 
With one CC match left in the regular season, Muhlenberg (16-9, 5-4) is in sixth place, a game in the loss column behind Franklin & Marshall for the fifth and final playoff spot. The Mules need a win at Ursinus on Wednesday and help from other matches to qualify for the playoffs.
 
Junior Allison Glass reached double figures in kills in both matches, notching 11 against Gettysburg and 10 vs. Baruch. Senior Katherine Boll recorded 14 kills with only two errors in the Gettysburg match.
 
 Neither team led by more than two points in the opening match until the Mules went on a 6-0 run behind the serving of senior Chelsea Kaser to open a 13-9 lead in the first set. Muhlenberg remained in front the rest of the way, closing out the 25-21 win on a kill by Glass.
 
The second set was tight at the end, with ties at 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 before back-to-back kills by Boll and Glass ended the set and put the Mules up 2-0 in the match.
 
Ahead 12-9 in the third set, Muhlenberg ran off the next six points with freshman Shannon Hubert serving (and recording aces on two of the points) and went on to win comfortably, 25-17, to complete its first sweep of Gettysburg since 2001.
 
Hubert finished with 34 assists, eight digs and three aces.
 
Muhlenberg spread out the time in the Baruch match, sending 14 different players onto the court, and still breezed to a 25-16, 25-19, 25-21 win against the City University of New York Athletic Conference regular-season champion.
 
The third set was the closest, with the Mules trailing 20-15 before closing out the match with a 10-1 run. A kill by senior setter Vanessa Pulice gave Muhlenberg the serve at 21-19, and Kaser served out the last six points, two of which came on kills by senior Erin Murphy.
 
Murphy finished with nine kills, while freshman Erica Schultz registered six in only eight attempts. Kaser added to her school-record digs total with 12.
 
Two Mule seniors made upward moves near the top the program's all-time charts. Pulice's 13 assists on the day put her in fourth place all-time with 1,738, and Joanne Josephson netted eight blocks to climb into second place with 337 for her career.
