Sophomore Courtney Levine and junior Michele Zito each scored her first career goal to contribute to the Mules’ second straight win. Muhlenberg opens defense of its 2000 Centennial Conference championship Saturday at Western Maryland. “We needed the win,” said Levine. “We started out the season a little rough in Texas. Now we get to go into conference play with a strong win behind us.” Iberer found the back of the net just 6:11 into the contest, heading in a cross from freshman Rebecca Armstrong. The same duo connected again less than 12 minutes later. Levine’s goal came after Iberer dropped a pass back to her on a breakaway. Sophomore Monica Jones and freshman Kim Klicka added goals before Zito completed the scoring. Levine, who hails from Northern New Jersey, said that the team was able to focus on the game despite the events near her hometown because of its closeness. “The team’s been amazing,” she said. “We’ve held practices every day, so we’ve been together and had each other for support. We do everything as a team.” • Volleyball: Muhlenberg 3, Delaware Valley 0.
