The Mules (17-9, 6-3 CC) first beat the Bullets (15-7, 5-3 CC) 25-18, 25-21, 25-11 and later took down the Blazers (9-17) by a score of 25-23, 25-19, 25-22.

Senior Elizabeth Garrison ended the day with 31 total digs, upping her career total to 1,383 which is two shy of tying her for the third most in program history with former Mule Jen Weist. She now has 478 digs this season, the fifth highest total in a season for a Muhlenberg player.

Two kills from Tornetta and a kill by freshman Maggie Enestvedt, one of eight for her in the match, put the Mules up 3-0 in the second set.

Muhlenberg jumped out to an early lead in the second set and maintained that lead throughout the stanza on its way to a 2-0 lead in the match.
 
The Blazers took control in the third set and eventually held a 16-11 lead. The Mules earned eight of the next 10 points and an Enestvedt kill gave Muhlenberg a lead again. With the stanza tied at 22-22, two straight kills from freshman Madison Forrest and a Blazer attack error ended the match.
