Preview
Fresh off a two-game sweep of Ball State and Colgate, the Robert Morris University field hockey team return to the Hoosier State for a weekend slate against Missouri State and Indiana.

History vs. Missouri State
The Colonials and the Bears have played four times in their history, with the Bears coming out victorious in all four match-ups. The four games were played between 2006 and 2009. This will be first neutral-site between the two teams.

History vs. Indiana
Sunday will mark the first time that the Colonials and Hoosiers have played each other.

In Case You Missed It
The Colonials improved to 3-1 over the weekend after two wins against Ball State and Colgate. RMU defeated the Cardinals last Friday, 1-0, behind junior Jamie Hartley's (Tamworth, Australia / University of Newcastle) third goal of the 2013 season.  The Colonials made it a sweep the next day, as they beat Colgate, 2-0. Sophomore Jess Martin-Brown (Mount Gambier, Australia / University of Adelaide) led off the game with her second goal of the 2013 campaign, and then freshman Chloe McIlwaine (Belfast, Ireland / Northumbria University) picked up her first career goal to set the final score.

Quick Hitters
  • By finding the back of the net against Ball State, Jamie Hartley broke the all-time program record for career goals. Her 17th score pushes her ahead of Chantele Crow, who played for the Colonials between 2008-11. Hartley also is the all-time program record-holder for career points with 49, eight ahead of the second-place Crow.
  • This is the second-straight season that RMU has started the season off with a 3-1 record. Last year, the Colonials defeated Appalachian State and Saint Louis on the second weekend of play, after starting off the season 1-1.
  • Chloe McIlwaine scored her first career goal in a 2-0 win over Colgate on Sunday, marking the first time a freshman has found the back of the net in 2013. The last time a first-year player scored for RMU before McIlwaine's tally was on Oct. 21, 2012, when Jess Martin-Brown buried one against Sacred Heart.
  • With her two clean sheets over the weekend, Erin McKenzie (Lismore, Australia / University of Queensland Tech) extended her shutout streak to three. The junior – who was named the MAAC Defensive Player of the Week on Monday – has held opponents scoreless for the last 229:12, which is a school record.

Coming Up
After two straight weekends in Indiana, the Colonials will return to the Keystone State to face Massachusetts-Lowell and Lock Haven. RMU will take on the Riverhawks on Saturday, Sept. 21 at noon, and then face the hosts, Lock Haven, at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.
