Marchiano scored six points and also recorded three of her five blocks during the surge.

The Bulldogs closed to within three points, at 59-56, with under four minutes remaining, but a three-pointer by senior Lindsay St. Lawrence kicked off a 13-2 run that put the game away. The Mules doubled their first-half output with 48 points in the second half.

St. Lawrence finished with 13 points and eight rebounds, while senior Jenn Risley and junior Randi Baran scored 11 apiece. Sophomore Becky Richmond pulled down 10 rebounds to help Muhlenberg to a 59-47 advantage on the boards.
