The Capsule
The Robert Morris University women's basketball team looks
to make it three straight victories when it hosts Bryant University in an
Elementary School Day game Monday, Jan. 5, at 10:00 a.m. at the Charles L. Sewall
Center. The Colonials upended Akron in last year's Elementary School Day
contest, 85-78, in front over 700 school students.
The Series
A split in last season's series marked the first loss by
Robert Morris, who leads the all-time meetings at 4-1, to Bryant. RMU is
perfect, 3-0, at home against the Bulldogs including a 72-68 victory last year.

Spanou Set to Join
Elite 1,000-500-200-100 Club
Junior forward Artemis Spanou is on the verge of doing
something only two players in RMU history and only 16 players in NEC history
have done - reach 1,000 career points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 100
steals. Spanou needs just 11 more assists to become a member of that elite
group. The two RMU players to accomplish the feat are Betsy Puskar (1982-86,
1,035 pts., 632 reb., 254 asts., 206 steals) and Chinata Nesbit (2006-08, 1,083
pts., 620 reb., 245 asts., 124 stls.).
