Strachan continued his strong play Tuesday at Arcadia, setting a school record with nine steals to move into fourth place on the Mules’ all-time steals list (132).

He also finished second at the Ursinus Invitational, dropping a one-point decision to the seventh-ranked wrestler in Division III in the title bout. Yeasted also reached the 75-win mark at Ursinus; he has a career record of 75-39.

The Muhlenberg football team has jumped to second in the ECAC Lambert Poll. The Mules were ranked seventh two weeks ago and fourth last week.

Established in 1936 as the “Lambert Trophy” to recognize supremacy in eastern college football, the award has since grown to recognize the best teams in the East in Divisions I-A, I-AA, II and III. There are 74 schools eligible for the Lambert Poll in Division III.
