A pin in the final bout gave the Muhlenberg women's wrestling team a 19-14 win against Misericordia in its first home dual match ever.
Prior to the match, the Mules honored their two seniors,

Schneider's team-leading fourth technical fall of the season at 138, combined with a pair of forfeit wins for Muhlenberg, sent the match between the two first-year programs into the final bout tied at 14-all.
Freshman
Karla Lazaro fell behind 4-2 and just barely avoided getting pinned before catching her opponent in a headlock and pinning her in front of the Muhlenberg bench with just one second left in the first period. It was the sixth pin of the season for Lazaro.
