Box ScoreThe Muhlenberg women's lacrosse team scored 14 second-half goals to run away from St. Joseph's (L.I.) and set the school record for longest winning streak.

Playing a team that won a game in the NCAA Tournament last year, the Mules took a while to get going. They led 3-1 with seven minutes to go in the first half, but the Golden Eagles (2-4) scored the next three goals. D'Ascoli's first goal, off a pass from Nagle with 8.6 seconds left in the first half, brought the teams to a 4-4 tie at halftime.
For the third straight game, Muhlenberg dominated the second half. It was 5-5 early on before the Mules went on a 9-1 run in a span of a little more than 10 minutes. Clark scored all three of her goals in the run, while Nagle assisted on three.
Muhlenberg has not led at halftime in any of its last three games but has outscored its opponents 32-9 in the second halves of those games.
