Robert Morris versus Maine
The Colonials are 8-4-1 all-time versus the Black Bears. Last year, the two programs split a two-game series in Orono, Maine. The first of the two meetings was an overtime loss for the Colonials, but RMU bounced back and took game two, 1-0. Four of the 13 total match ups between the programs have gone into extra minutes.
 
Players to Watch
Junior defenseman Mikaela Lowater has tallied a point in five of the Colonials' last six outings, including her last four consecutive appearances.  She is part of a three-way tie for sixth nationally among defensemen in scoring (6-7-13).
