A balanced offense and stiff defense led the Muhlenberg men's lacrosse team to its third straight win in convincing fashion, 17-7, over Moravian.
 
A total of 10 different goal scorers helped the Mules (6-1) crack a Greyhound (5-2) defense that entered the day ranked seventh in Division III allowing 4.83 goals per game and hadn't allowed more than seven goals in a game all season. Brandon Moyer and freshman James Dalimonte nearly combined for that total themselves with a three goals each.
 
Moyer's hat trick is the second of the season, while Dalimonte has netted three or more goals for the third time in the last four games.
 
Among the Mules' other goal scorers was freshman Cooper Richards, who picked up the ground ball off a faceoff and took it straight to the cage for the first goal of his career to tie the game at four. That marker opened a string of five straight for Muhlenberg that resulted in an 8-4 lead two minutes into the third quarter and complete momentum. He added a career-best two assists for three points.
 
Senior Daniel Doreste (pictured above) and sophomores PJ Lombara and Colin Adams each scored twice. Adams added an assist, finishing with a career-high three points. Sophomore Sean Jansson picked up his first point of the season with an assist on Moyer's third goal.
 
The defense did its part, causing 12 of 23 Greyhound turnovers led by sophomores Alexander Giaquinto and Matt Hager freshman Maxwell Seeber who each caused two. Hager matched his career high with four ground balls, while Richards set a new career-best in the statistic. Freshman Jackson Wilken picked up a career-best three ground balls.
 
Sophomore Zachary Cooper won a season-best eight faceoffs leading to three ground balls.
 
Backstopping the Mules was junior Garrett Pope, whose 11 saves marks his fifth double-digit save effort of the year.
 
The Mules improved to 11-0 all-time against Moravian, having won each game by six goals or more.
