Moon Township, Pa. – The Robert Morris University volleyball team essentially starts back at 0-0 and can put the non-conference season behind them as they open Northeast Conference action at Saint Francis U. on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 5 p.m. in DeGol Arena.
 
Leading into conference play, the Colonials (5-8) put together their best non-conference record since head coach Dale Starr's 2011 squad compiled five non-conference victories. However, RMU has lost their last six matches, including four by shutout, and looks to return to the win column starting with the Red Flash (2-13).
