Junior Emma Youngling (pictured) scored a career-high eight goals to help propel the Muhlenberg women's lacrosse team to a 19-9 win over the Ursinus Bears.

Youngling, the Mules' leading scorer with 49 goals and 67 points, was a threat all afternoon long; she hit paydirt twice in each quarter for those eight tallies. The junior set the tone early after the Mules found themselves down 2-0 just 79 seconds into the contest. She won the draw control and fed Annalisa Bio, who hit the post on her shot attempt. Who else was there to scoop up the ground ball but Youngling, who gave Bio another chance that the senior cashed in on to put the Mules on the board. A few minutes later, the pair connected once more to tie it up at two.

After that, the junior midfielder scored her first two goals of the night to give the visitors a lead they would never relinquish.  That was all part of a 13-2 run that gave Muhlenberg a commanding 13-4 advantage heading into halftime. The hosts would strike back with four goals in the third, but Youngling answered with two of her own to keep the Bears at arm's length before a 4-0 Muhlenberg run really put the game away for good.

Bio would finish second on the team in scoring with four goals, while Alyssa Hartnett stuffed the stat sheet with three goals and three assists for six total points. For Bio, those four scores match a career-high set against McDaniel earlier this season. Hartnett's six points are a season high, but fall one short of her career best of seven, set when she scored seven goals last year against Stockton.

Youngling's eight goals are tied (with 10 other players) for the sixth-most in team history and her 10 points are tied (with 10 other players, including herself last year), for the fifth-most in team history. Not only did she dominate offensively, but she was either first or second on the team in ground balls (four, second behind only Meaghan Haughney's five), caused turnovers (two, first), and draw controls (eight, tied with Abba Diglio for first).
