COUNCIL ROCK NORTH BASKETBALL:Foster helps Mules in playoff push

Junior Ryan Foster is helping the Muhlenberg College men’s basketball team in its push to the playoffs.

A Council Rock High School North alum from Newtown, Ryan leads the Mules with 38 three-pointers and an .830 free-throw percentage.

Foster is also third on the team in scoring (11.5 points-per-game), rebounding (6.0 per-game), assists (36) and blocked shots (9).

Foster recently scored a career-high 25 points in Muhlenberg’s 73-65 win at Swarthmore and recorded a double-double (11 points, 12 rebounds) in a 62-58 win against regionally ranked Gettysburg, a Division III Sweet 16 team last year.

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Mules are alone in fourth place in the Centennial Conference with an 8-6 league mark. They are 12-8 overall, their most wins in three seasons.
