Senior Dawn Iberer became the program’s all-time leading scorer on the first day of the tournament, then scored her 50th career goal on the second day. She is only the fourth player in school soccer history – male or female – to reach the 50-goal level. The record for most soccer goals scored in a Muhlenberg uniform is 61, held by Randy Kutz (1974-77).

On the other side of the scoring spectrum, senior Katrina Custance, who is in her fourth year as a starter, notched her first career point with an assist on Friday.

The Mules are undefeated (17-0-2) in home season openers since 1962.

Muhlenberg was impressive on both defense and offense in capturing the Muhlenberg Invitational. The Mules outshot their two opponents by a combined 30-6 margin and had a 19-5 advantage in penalty corners.

The back-to-back shutouts of Frostburg State and an Elizabethtown team that was ranked in the top 20 for much of last season extended Muhlenberg’s winning streak to six — the last five by shutout. The school record for consecutive shutouts is seven, set in the last two games of 1961 and the first five of 1962. This is the first time since 1991 that the Mules have begun a season with two shutout wins.

Although goals did not come easily against Frostburg, the Mules had plenty of scoring chances, and they erupted for four goals in the championship game. “I think that our forward line is really clicking. It feels good to be putting some in the back of the cage early on,” said junior Kristen Bruschi, who put in two against Elizabethtown. With five points in the game, she moved into a tie for seventh place on the program’s all-time list with 62 career points.
