The Capsule

The Robert Morris University women's basketball team wraps up a three-game Northeast Conference homestand by hosting Mount St. Mary's in a 4:00 p.m. game at the Charles L. Sewall Center Saturday, January 26. RMU is looking to snap a four-game slide after opening the league schedule with back-to-back victories.

The Series

Robert Morris has dominated this series in recent history while still trailing in the all-time series, 16-32. The Colonials have won 13 of the last 16 meetings, but the Mount's five-point victory in last year's game ended a four-game win streak for RMU. Robert Morris is 9-14 against the Mount at home.
