Moon Township, Pa. – Playing their third game in seven days, the Robert Morris University men's lacrosse team fell to Marquette University, 14-7, in non-conference action this afternoon from Joe Walton Stadium.

Robert Morris (4-3) scored three of the game's first four goals to go ahead early, but Marquette (2-3) regained the lead thanks to clean possessions and a strong performance in goal over the second and third quarters.

Carter Yepsen had an answer for Andy DeMichiei's opening tally, pulling the Colonials even at 1-1 early in the contest. Matt Schmidt then gave RMU the lead with his 11th goal of the season, and just 11 seconds later Trey Arnold scored off the face-off to make it 3-1.

Goals from John Wagner and Ryan McNamara deadlocked the score at 3-all after one quarter of play. Kyran Clarke then began the second quarter with a man-up goal, giving the Golden Eagles a lead they wouldn't relinquish.

Adrian Torok-Orban scored his 13th goal of the season in the fourth quarter on a man-down chance, extending his point streak to 22 games. He is one of 25 players nationally to currently own a point streak of at least 20 games.

Tyson Gibson scored a pair of goals in the defeat. Alex Heger made 12 saves in 56:50 between the pipes.
