Muhlenberg (5-8, 2-4) opened up a 2-0 margin when sophomore Jess Kasza and freshman Jillian Katz scored less than two-and-a-half minutes apart in the first half. The Mules held their lead through the remainder of the half, thanks to senior Kristin Garbutt, who made her sixth defensive save of the season off a penalty corner.

Junior Tara Cohn scored her 10th goal of the season seven minutes into the second half. The Garnet (5-10, 1-6) broke into the scoring column with 18:48 left to play, and from there on no more than six minutes went by without another goal. The teams took turns on the scoreboard, so Swarthmore never got closer than two goals.

Katz added her second goal, like the first assisted by junior Kristen Sabia, and junior Nicki Notarianni scored her 25th career goal.
