Off the Field The members of the Muhlenberg College lacrosse team are appreciative of their status as collegiate players and make every effort to give back to the community
wounded warrior project
that supports them. • Every year, the Mules run in a 5K charity race in the fall. In 2015, they participated in the Allentown Goes Red 5K, which raises money for the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. “Running a 5K is a Fall Ball tradition for our team; not only do we support a wonderful cause, but it’s also a great way for the team to bond with each other,” said senior co-captain Arielle Sherman. “This cause was very close to many of my teammates’ hearts since some of us have had family members and friends battle cancer, some still battling.” The Mules honored veterans for their game against McDaniel last year, donning special camouflage jerseys and wearing eye black in support of the Wounded Warrior Project. The team also raised more than $1,800 for the WWP, a charity and veteran’s service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans of the military. “We were so excited about our jerseys because they were cool, but more so we were excited to help the Wounded Warrior Project because [our veterans] are so great. They’ve done so much for us, so we were so happy to step up for them,” said senior Christina Vittorio.
Previous races for the Mules were the Step Out Against Domestic Violence 5K

sponsored by Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley and Ashly’s 5K Race for Freedom, an event created in honor of a local woman who was killed while serving in Iraq. • In the fall of 2012, Muhlenberg sold diabetes awareness t-shirts and donated almost $300 for diabetes awareness and research to JDRF. • In December 2011, the Mules collected toys and made cards for children suffering from cancer for their holiday party at St. Joseph’s Hospital in New Jersey. • In the fall of 2010, the Mules took the concept of community service one step further, implementing a “charity challenge.” The team broke into two groups,

study abroad In a world that is becoming increasingly interdependent, study abroad represents a significant means by which students may better prepare themselves to face challenges of the future. Muhlenberg College encourages students in all majors to study overseas at quality institutions in Europe, Australia, Asia, Latin America and Africa. 52.4% of Muhlenberg graduates from the Class of 2014 studied abroad. Currently there are between 250 and 300 students studying abroad each year. Muhlenberg women’s lacrosse players have taken advantage of these wonderful opportunities to study abroad in the fall. In 2015, juniors Sara Allison and Nora Fisher spent the fall semester in Florence, Italy, while junior Cassidy Freudenberg studied in Queenland, Australia. In recent years, Mules have also studied abroad in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Muhlenberg Athletics centennial conference In its 23rd year of all-sports competition, the Centennial Conference has taken its place among the nation’s elite small college conferences. On June 4, 1981, Keith Spalding, then-president of Franklin & Marshall College, made the announcement that “eight private colleges found it timely and appropriate to form a round-robin schedule among institutions with similar attitudes and practices in intercollegiate football.” With that statement, the Centennial Conference was born. From 1983-92, the eight private colleges — Dickinson College, Franklin & Marshall College, Gettysburg College, Johns Hopkins University, Muhlenberg College, Swarthmore College, Ursinus College and Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) — participated in a football-only conference. Because of the success in operating the Centennial Football Conference, the league expanded to an all-sports conference in 1992, with Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College and Washington College joining as charter members.
Muhlenberg College sponsors a comprehensive 22-sport intercollegiate athletics program. The Mules compete in the Centennial Conference in all sports and are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Muhlenberg’s sports program is designed to offer quality competitive experiences for the serious athlete, with opportunities for outstanding teams and individuals to advance to national Division III championships. However, given the breadth of the program, opportunities also exist for the unrecruited athlete to participate in varsity sports. Muhlenberg has excellent on-campus athletic facilities. Opened in 1982, the Life Sports Center is a building designed for athletics, intramurals and “sports

ics programs are an integral part of the life of the member institutions and flow from their educational objectives. Each institution provides a comprehensive, broad-based athletics program. All varsity sports are treated equitably, and every sport is important. The CC crowns champions in 24 sports and continues to sponsor intercollegiate programs of national prominence for women and men. On the average, Centennial members boast of 19 varsity teams, which is well above the national norm. The CC has established itself as one of the premier conferences for women’s lacrosse in Division III. The CC has a remarkable 645-304 (.680) record in non-conference games the past 13 years and annually places multiple teams in the national rankings. The CC champion earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament each year, and the conference has had a team reach the quarterfinals of the tournament in 20 of the last 22 seasons. In five of the last

performance across the entire field. AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D is a natural-looking synthetic surface that’s more durable than 100% polyethylene systems. Tweed tufting of AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D more accurately mimics the true coloration of natural grass. A double nylon Root Zone acts as a traction layer, providing fiber support and reducing the compaction associated with other infill products. Muhlenberg’s facility is named for two prominent figures in the school’s athletic history. The stadium honors the late Milton W. “Scotty” Wood for his many years of support and service to the College and its scholar athletes. He began Wood Dining Services, now prominent in the food service industry, in 1947 by feeding Muhlenberg basketball players. The Mules’ annual tipoff basketball tournament is also named in his honor. The field honors the late Frank Marino, one of the most beloved coaches in school history. He led the football team to a 54-40-6 record from 1970 to 1980 and was 1976 Middle Atlantic Conference coach of the year. Marino, who passed away in January 2011, served the athletic department in numerous other capacities during his 34-year association with the College (including one year as women’s lacrosse head coach), earning the respect, loyalty and admiration of hundreds of young men and women.
