The Muhlenberg women's basketball team suffered its first loss of the season, falling 85-44 to DeSales in its final game of 2018.

The Mules, whose 9-0 started landed them at No. 25 in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association poll released earlier in the day, fell behind 12-2 at the start and saw the deficit climb through a first half in which the Bulldogs (8-2) shot 50 percent from three-point range.

Freshman Tori Dowd provided a highlight when she banked in a shot from halfcourt as the buzzer sounded ending the third quarter.

Freshman Mikaela McGarvey led Muhlenberg with 9 points off the bench, and senior Carley Hamilton pulled down 9 rebounds.

Senior Eva Sodaitis (pictured above) made her first career three-pointer and blocked a shot.
