while senior SARAH CLARKE had eight points and five assists. Freshman
NANCY KEGELMAN hit a shot at the buzzer for her first career points. Click here for box score.

much for the young Mules, who filled nine of the 10 weight classes with

improving his record to a team-best 17-3, while freshman ADAM HORNER
