Basketball at Washington College (Saturday, women at 2:00; men at 4:00)

Both Muhlenberg teams are off to a hot start, with three wins and a Scotty Wood Tournament title under their belts. Although this is the third time in the last four years that both Mule squads started 3-0, it’s never happened that both started 4-0.

It also had never happened that both teams won a one-point game this early in the season, but the men edged Gwynedd Mercy, 81-80, in the Scotty Wood final, and the women outlasted Swarthmore, 75-74, in their overtime Centennial Conference opener.

This is the 21st time in the last 21 years that the Muhlenberg teams aren’t quite sure what to expect from their trip to Chestertown. Traditionally one of the hardest places in the CC for the Mules to play, the men won there last year but are only 5-16 at Washington since the start of CC play. The women have fared better, going 16-4, but it hasn’t been easy; two years ago, they overcame a 17-point deficit to win by three.

Both Washington teams are 0-2.
