The Muhlenberg women's lacrosse team fell to fifth-ranked Franklin & Marshall, 21-11, in the semifinals of the Centennial Conference playoffs.

The Mules (14-5) are in the mix for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and will await the results of other games this weekend. The NCAA selection show is on Monday morning.

Franklin & Marshall (16-2) scored three goals in the first 1:45 and led 4-0 less than five minutes in, but Muhlenberg rallied to close to within 5-3 late in the first quarter. The Mules had three possessions with a chance to make it a one-goal game but could not score, and the Diplomats netted the first six goals of the second quarter to pull away.

The 11 goals scored by Muhlenberg were the most allowed by F&M to a CC team this season.

Senior Jillian Kubikowski led the offense with three goals and three assists. The six points gave her an even 200 for her career, making her the 10th player in program history to reach the double-century mark.

Sophomore Emma Youngling also scored three goals for her team-leading 13th hat trick of the season.

Senior Emily Vaughan (pictured above) tied her career high with five caused turnovers, tying the school record of 45 caused turnovers in a season. She also contributed two goals and six ground balls.
