A weekly look at what's going on in the Centennial
Conference:

Muhlenberg is the only team that has clinched a playoff spot. Six teams
are in contention for the other three berths. McDaniel, which has won six
in a row to vault into a tie for second place, plays two of the other
contenders this week: home vs. Gettysburg on Wednesday and at Washington
on Saturday. Washington also hosts Johns Hopkins this week. Gettysburg,
loser of four in a row, finishes up at home against Dickinson, while
Hopkins plays its regular-season finale at home against Franklin &
Marshall.

Muhlenberg and Gettysburg have clinched playoff berths, and the Mules can
secure the top seed with a win against Ursinus on Saturday or a Bullet
loss at Dickinson. Johns Hopkins hosts Dickinson on Tuesday in a key
matchup of the teams currently tied for fourth. Hopkins finishes up at
F&M. McDaniel is still alive after scoring a 1-0 win at Ursinus and has
two more road games this week, against Washington and Haverford.

Ursinus, Johns Hopkins and McDaniel have clinched playoff spots, and
Gettysburg needs to defeat Dickinson or Bryn Mawr this week to lock up the
final berth. The only other team with a mathematical chance is Washington,
which needs a win Saturday at Muhlenberg and two Gettysburg losses.

Haverford (19-7, 6-3), while the other first-round matchup pairs Johns
Hopkins (21-6, 8-1) with Franklin & Marshall (14-10, 7-2).

Women’s Soccer: Armstrong Honored, Game Postponed
Mules Receive Votes in National Poll
Junior Rebecca Armstrong of the Muhlenberg women’s soccer team
has been
 named co-player of the week by the Centennial Conference.
Armstrong was honored after recording her second career hat trick, scoring
three goals in the first 24 minutes of a 3-1 win at Washington. Her first
career hat trick also came against the Shorewomen, last year. Armstrong
added an assist in the Mules’ 2-0 shutout of Dickinson and leads the
team with 24 points on 10 goals and four assists.
Armstrong has to wait a little longer to get the chance to add to those
numbers, as today’s scheduled game at Moravian was rained out and
rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 3:00. In addition to being for
local bragging rights and a Matte Award point, the game will feature two
of the top teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Muhlenberg (12-3-1) has moved
up to fifth in the regional rankings and received votes for the national
top 25, and Moravian (9-2-3) is ranked eighth:
1. Scranton (16-0-1)
2. Messiah (12-1-3)
3. Montclair State (12-4)
4. New Jersey (12-4)
5t. Muhlenberg (12-3-1)
5t. Lebanon Valley (9-2-4)
7. Gettysburg (12-4)
8. Moravian (9-2-3)
9. Rutgers-Camden (11-3-3)
10. Eastern (14-3-1)
The top eight in the men’s soccer regional rankings remained
unchanged from last week:
1. Elizabethtown (14-1-1)
2. Carnegie Mellon (11-1)
3. Drew (13-1-2)
4. Johns Hopkins (12-2-1)
5. Messiah (13-2-2)
6. Muhlenberg (13-4)
7. Eastern (11-3-2)
8. Arcadia (11-4-1)
9. McDaniel (13-5)
10. Frostburg State (9-4-2)
