Musket Shots

• Robert Morris' 1-3 start is just the second time over the past eight seasons in which they have started the campaign off with a losing record, joining the 2011 Colonials. However, that team rebounded from close losses to No. 3 North Carolina, Hobart, and Colgate to finish 9-6 and advance to its first NEC Tournament. RMU also earned its first win over a nationally-ranked program that season, defeating No. 17/18 Bucknell, 7-5, at Mt. Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh.
• Sean Meagher is known for his defensive prowess – evidenced by his NEC Defensive Player of the Year award from a season ago – but he's also been contributing on the other side of the field in his senior year. Meagher has scored three goals this season, which is already a career-high for the Senior CLASS Award Semifinalist. The long-stick midfielder is one point away from breaking his previous career-high of four, set in the 2012 season.
• The Colonials have improved on their face-offs this season, with a mark of .465 compared to last year's .357 number. Redshirt sophomore Chris Barney (Cheshire, Conn. / Bridgeton Academy) has taken all but one face-off in 2014, while six different players matched up at the face-off dot last year.
