The Fords (12-5, 9-3), who have won two of the last three Centennial Conference championships, scored on their first four possessions to open up a 9-0 lead.

The Mules (7-8, 6-4) closed to within four late in the first quarter but spent the majority of the game trailing by 7-13 points.

Down 58-51 with 5:45 left following a three-pointer by freshman Katie McGrath, Muhlenberg made four straight defensive stops but could not convert on the other end, and Haverford closed out the win.
