Moon Township, Pa. / North Athletic Complex-The Robert Morris University women's soccer team rolled to a 3-1 victory over the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights Friday afternoon to improve to 4-3 in Northeast Conference play. RMU sits at 10-6-1 overall - reaching double-digit wins for the first time in team history - while FDU slips to 4-10-1 and 1-7 in league games.

Robert Morris set the tempo early on in this contest, peppering the FDU net with seven shots in the first 17 minutes of play. The continuing pressure by the Colonials finally paid off in the 23rd minute. A corner kick to the center of the box by senior Holly Sieradzki (Clifton, N.J. / Clifton) found the head of sophomore Alexa Sarsfield (Springdale, Pa. / Springdale) who buried her second marker of the season inside the left post.

The lead, however, was short-lived. A free kick from 18 yards out turned into the Knights first score in the 28th minute. Amy Flanagan's right-footed effort from the left side fooled RMU keeper Jess Olin (New Port Richey, Fla. / River Ridge), curling from right-to-left before finding the netting on the right side of the cage.

The Knights goal was the only shot that RMU would allow in the first 70 minutes of play.

The Colonials snapped the tie in the 58th minute. Senior Brianna Bell (Irwin, Pa. / Hempfield) won a ball on the end-line sending it back to the center of the box. There, senior Ayana Davis (Mt. Laurel, N.J. / Holy Cross) touched a ball back to the far side of the box where Jaimie Morra (Pittsburgh, Pa. / North Hills) placed a shot off the right post and in. It was her first goal of the season.

Senior Jess Sharik (North Huntington, Pa. / Norwin) tallied her fourth of the year in the 70th minute. Her shot from 30 yards out found the left side netting. The play was set up from the defense where Sieradzki switched fields to Darla Sebbens (Irwin, Pa. / Greensburg Central Catholic) who found Sharik open down the right wing.

The Colonials close out their home schedule and celebrate Senior Day this Sunday, Oct. 23, when they host Bryant in a 1:00 p.m. game at North Athletic Complex.
