This will be the last edition of Mule Sports Daily until next Friday, December 21. There will be an MSD that day and the following day to report on the men’s basketball tournament at Muskingum. Then there will be another break before we resume our regular schedule on Wednesday, January 2.

Best wishes for a happy holiday season.

Muhlenberg senior Joshua Carter has been selected to the Hewlett-Packard Division III All-America Football Team for the third straight year.

Carter was a third-team selection as a kick returner after averaging 24.1 yards on kickoff returns and 12.7 yards on punt returns. During the season, he became the all-time Division III leader in yards on kickoff returns (2,189) and punt returns (1,550). A wide receiver, Carter also ranked among the Division III leaders with 160.4 all-purpose yards per game.

Already the first player in team history to earn All-America honors twice (he was a first-team selection each of the last two seasons), Carter is the first Muhlenberg athlete in any sport to be a three-time All-American. He also made the All-Centennial Conference first team and the ECAC All-Star Team three times and was the program’s first CC player of the year in 2000.

The 24th annual Hewlett-Packard All-America team was selected by a panel of 30 sports information directors representing the four playoff regions in Division III.
