Muhlenberg’s mastery of the road continued, and its mastery of Washington resumed, with a 4-0 win.

The Mules (8-3, 4-1) are now 5-0 away from Varsity Field this season, outscoring their opponents 19-0. And after losing to the Shoremen for the first time ever last year, Muhlenberg looked to start a new streak with its most decisive win in the 23-game history of the series.

Seniors Adison Weseloh and Samuel Hayden scored goals in the first half to stake the Mules to a 2-0 lead. Hayden’s was his first of the season.

Muhlenberg doubled its margin with goals very early and very late in the second half: Sophomore Cody Antonini put in a shot off a great long pass from Hayden just 26 seconds after the break, and freshman Danny Way closed out the scoring with only 33 seconds on the clock. (corrected 10/14) With 10 goals, Antonini is the first Mule sophomore to reach double digits since 2003.
