Sunday, Nov. 2, 2013 – 3:00 p.m.
New Britain, Conn. – Central Connecticut Soccer Field
 
The Capsule
Robert Morris begins its final push for a Northeast Conference playoff spot when it travels to league-leading Central Connecticut State for a 3:00 p.m. game Sunday, Nov. 3. The Blue Devils clinched the NEC regular season championship Friday and stand perfect, 5-0, in league games.
 
Perplexing Playoff Picture
With two games left in the regular season, six teams are vying for the final three playoff spots. The Colonials, seventh in the eight team league, have six points and are just four points behind second place Saint Francis University. If RMU can get two wins in its final two games, it will have a good chance of earning one of the three open postseason spots. CCSU clinched the NEC regular season title Friday and is the only team that has secured a playoff berth. Sacred Heart, winless in league action, is the only squad that has been eliminated.
 
The Series vs. Central Connecticut State
The Colonials are 6-7-3 all-time against the Blue Devils. RMU is 1-5-1 in games at Central Connecticut Soccer Field. Robert Morris is 1-1-1 against CCSU in the last three meetings.
 
Quick Recap
After a failing to earn a point in two games in Brooklyn, Robert Morris returned to form last weekend, routing Sacred Heart, 5-0, and Howard, 4-1, in a set of home games. The Colonials are one of the top-scoring teams in the nation, 14th in goal average (2.0) and 11th in total goals (32). Neco Brett leads the nation with 32 points (12 G, 8 A) while Bruce Cullen's nine assists are fifth nationally. Miro Cabrilo has 14 points on four goals and six assists. Carl Reid has scored five times. Freshman goalkeeper Joseph Kuta has played all but one game in goal, recording a 1.10 goals against average and a .726 save percentage.
