Musket Shots

• Robert Morris' comeback on Siena was the second deficit of five or more goals the Colonials have conquered in their last six games. RMU fell behind Quinnipiac, 7-1, in the second quarter of last year's NEC Semifinals, but bounced back to clip the Bobcats, 15-14.
• Senior Brian Bohn (Mars, Pa. / Seneca Valley) picked up the second win of his career with 11 saves against Siena. His last one was the biggest one, as he robbed Kyle Curry at the doorstep as time expired to send it to overtime.
• Eric Rankel established himself last season as one of the NEC's most prolific scorers. This season, he's added more a defensive element to his game. Rankel has forced eight turnovers and collected 16 groundballs, which is nearing his respective totals of 11 and 20 from last season. His caused turnover mark is second on the team behind senior Sean Meagher (Chesterfield, Mo. / St. Louis University), while his groundball total is good for third.
