Muhlenberg 84, Dickinson
65
In its last game before final exams, the Muhlenberg
men’s basketball team faced a tough test against defending
Centennial Conference runner-up Dickinson. But the Mules
treated it more like a group project, as they dished out a
season-high 21 assists on 28 buckets and had six players score at
least eight points en route to an 84-65 win over the Red Devils.
The Mules’ 84 points were 15 more than Dickinson (4-4, 2-2)
had given up in any game this season. They shot 52.8 percent from
the field against a Red Devil defense that entered the game holding
opponents to just 37.7 percent.
