ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Senior Trevor Williams (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Catholic) scored three goals in the second half for his first career hat trick to lead the Lycoming College men's lacrosse team, but a big first half was enough for Muhlenberg, as it posted a 15-5 win at Scotty Wood Stadium on Saturday, March 14.
