Jeff Stewart, the CC’s top rebounder and second leading scorer, led Muhlenberg with his 12^th double-double of the season, tallying a game-high 22 points and 15 rebounds.

With the Mules up 50-48 off of consecutive Stewart jumpers, David Glaser (West Chester, PA/Malvern Prep) converted a pair of free throws to tie the game with 2:42 left to play.

Jimmy O’Brien dropped in a jumper on the next possession, but Glaser hit a jumper to knot the score at 52 with 2:15 to play, the game's fifth tie.

Stewart hit the first of two from the charity stripe to put the Mules up by one, but Glaser found Spadafora for a jumper and then converted one of his own to bring the final margin to 56-53 in favor of the Bullets.

Glaser – held to single digits for the second straight game – netted six points in the final 2 minutes, 42 seconds to finish with nine points and eight boards.
