TOP STORY Robert Morris split a series with Maine this past weekend, earning its first win in the process. The Colonials dropped the first game of the series to the Black Bears, 3-2, in overtime. That defeat was RMU’s first in overtime since Feb. 16, 2013 at Lindenwood, and dropped the team to 0-3 for the first time since the 2007-08 season. However, the Colonials rebounded the next day, avoiding their first 0-4 start since 2005-06 with a 1-0 victory against Maine. The 1-0 win was the first of that kind for RMU since Jan. 28, 2012 when it defeated Niagara at home with a goal from Brianna Delaney.
SERIES HISTORY Overall: 1-1-0 • At Home: 0-0-0 • At CU: 1-1-0 • Neutral: 0-0-0
The Colonials have played Colgate twice in program history, with each contest providing completely different results. In their last meeting, RMU used the strength of their power play unit, as they converted on four of eight chances en route to a 5-2 victory over the Raiders. Rebecca Vint scored twice in the win, while Kelsey Thomas added a goal and an assist. The teams met for the first time on Nov. 11, 2005, with Colgate winning in dominant fashion, 9-0. Quinn Caggiula made 44 saves in the loss as the Colonials were outshot, 53-11.
SCOUTING COLGATE The Raiders have played just once this season, dropping a 2-1 contest at Syracuse. Colgate finished last season with an overall record of 10-22-2 and a mark of 7-15-0 in ECAC play. The Raiders’ leading scorer returns in senior forward Miriam Drubel, who tallied 10 goals and 13 assists in 2013-14. Three different goaltenders saw significant time between the pipes for Colgate last season, including sophomore Ashlynne Rando, who made 27 saves in the Raiders’ loss to the Orange. As a freshman, Rando went 6-10-1 with a 2.70 goals against average and a save percentage of .900.
