Muhlenberg College moves up to #5 in the nation

The Muhlenberg football team inched up another place in the D3football.com national poll.
A 31-14 win at Union, combined with a loss by then-No. 4 St. John’s, allowed the Mules to move from No. 6 to No. 5.

Football is only the fourth sport in College history to be ranked in the top five in Division III. The others were men’s soccer (several times, most recently in 1996), softball (1991) and field hockey (1990).

Muhlenberg has won 13 consecutive regular-season games and, with a Homecoming win against Gettysburg on Saturday, will tie Dickinson (1987-88) for the second-longest streak in Centennial Conference history. McDaniel holds the CC record with 30 straight from 1997 to 1999.

The Mules return home this weekend to take on Gettysburg this Saturday at 1pm on their new AstroTurf GameDay Grass 3D field at Scotty Wood Stadium.
