1999-2000 Season Highlights

• Muhlenberg had a breakthrough season in 2000, reaching double digits in wins (10-4) for only the third time in school history, and the first since 1941.  The Mules had their most wins (6) and highest finish (second place) ever in the Centennial Conference.

• The Mules’ 7-0 start was the third-best in team history (8-0 in 1940 and 9-0 in 1942) and the best for any Muhlenberg team since men’s soccer opened up 9-0 in 1994. The team’s 10-match winning streak (dating back to the 1999 season) was its best since 1942.

• In their most important win of the season, the Mules came back after losing the doubles point to defeat Franklin & Marshall (4-3) for the first time since 1982.

• The freshman duo of Brad Scheller and Cameron Parke became Muhlenberg’s first-ever Centennial Conference Championship finalists. The pair also reached the quarterfinals of the ITA East Championships in the fall.

• Junior Robby Richman (10-4), Scheller (10-3) and Parke (10-2) became the first Mules to win 10 matches in spring dual-meet competition since 1990. Richman earned the No. 2 seed in the CC Tournament, recorded his 50th career win during the season and ran his career singles record to 37-14-1.
