Both Muhlenberg teams appeared in the Mideast Regional cross country coaches polls that were released earlier this week.

The men were ranked ninth, while the women were just outside the top 10 in 11th place. Ironically, the Muhlenberg women are ranked behind a Moravian team they have beaten head-to-head two straight weeks.

The Muhlenberg volleyball team dropped both of its matches on the first day of the MIT Invitational.

The Mules (8-4), playing in Pool D at Tufts, won the first game in their first match against Tufts (8-1), but dropped the next three and went on to get swept in three games by Coast Guard (6-2).

Muhlenberg moves on to the silver bracket with Vassar and Colby.

Two nights after recording her 100th career ace, senior Mary Henning reached another career milestone, passing the 2,000-assist mark with her 45 against Tufts. She is the second player in Muhlenberg history and the 19th in Centennial Conference history with 2,000 assists.
