The Muhlenberg women's basketball team shared the goodness in its final game before Thanksgiving.
Of the 17 healthy players on the team, 14 scored points in the Mules' 79-35 home win against Bryn Mawr.Â
Three players scored in double figures, led by senior
Mikaela McGarvey with 13 points. McGarvey knocked down three three-pointers to move into a tie for 10th place on the program's all-time list with 86 for her career.
Freshman
Rachel Saxton scored a career-high 11 points in only seven minutes of action, while senior
Margaux Eripret (10 points, 9 rebounds) just missed a double-double in 14 minutes on the court.
Four Muhlenberg players - sophomore
Maddie Fagan (pictured above) and freshmen
Ava Connolly,
Emily Ellis and
Kaelyn Duvall - netted their first career points. Freshman
Jenna Stockfeder had a breakout game with 8 points and 12 rebounds.
The Mules (3-1, 1-1), who have never lost to the Owls (3-2, 0-2)Â in 48 all-time meetings, scored the first eight points of the game and were never threatened. Muhlenberg shot a lower percentage in the first half than Bryn Mawr, but had big advantages in rebounds (35-15) and turnovers (11-5) and took a 39-21 lead into the locker room.
Muhlenberg shot much better in the third quarter, going 9-for-17, including 5-of-9 from three-point range, en route to outscoring the Owls 25-8.Â
On defense, the Mules held their fourth straight opponent under 30-percent shooting and held the Centennial Conference's leading scorer seven points below her average.
The Mules' three primary point guards, Connolly and seniors
Tori Dowd and
Tara Szawaluk, combined for 10 assists without a turnover.
