The Bullets (9-1, 1-0), who in their last game defeated 12th-ranked TCNJ by a similar score (14-8), netted seven goals in a span of just over 11 minutes of the first quarter. But their lead never grew to more than seven, as the teams scored the same number of goals and took the same number of shots (16) in the final three quarters.
Sophomore
Emma Youngling scored half of Muhlenberg's goals for her fourth consecutive hat trick and her eighth of the season.
Ervin was outstanding in goal, making a season-high 13 saves. Among the other seniors, Kubikowski contributed a goal and an assist, Vaughan controlled four draws, and DeCristofaro and Pierpont picked up a ground ball each.
