Sophomore Megan Stairs, who entered the game ranked 24th in Division III in saves per game, tied her career high with 13 saves in 58 minutes. Senior Grace Hoffman finished up the game and recorded 3 saves.

The Profs came into the game ranked fifth in Region IV and receiving votes in the Division III national poll. Muhlenberg's next three opponents - Johns Hopkins, Swarthmore and Dickinson - are ranked first, fourth and sixth, respectively, in Region V.
