Moon Township, Pa. – The Robert Morris University men's lacrosse team's four-game winning streak has the Colonials on the national Division I men's lacrosse radar. For the first time since 2012, RMU is receiving votes in the USILA/Nike Division I Coaches Poll.
 
Fellow Northeast Conference (NEC) member Bryant is also receiving votes in this week's national poll.
 
Robert Morris' (4-1) 9-7 win at High Point marked its fourth consecutive victory. The last time a Robert Morris men's lacrosse team won four consecutive non-conference games was in 2011 when the Colonials won five straight outside of NEC action. RMU held its opponent to single-digit scoring for the fourth straight game. The Colonials have outscored their opponents, 52-29, during the current unbeaten streak.
 
The Colonials boast the No. 3 man-up offense in the nation (.636), and rank among the top 20 in caused turnovers per game (10^th; 8.80), winning percentage (t-10^th; .800), points per game (13^th; 20.40), assists per game (t-15^th; 7.80), scoring margin (16^th; 3.80),  scoring offense (17^th; 12.60 goals per game), saves per game (18^th; 12.20), and shot percentage (20^th; .325).
 
Sophomore goalkeeper Alex Heger ranks 11^th in the nation in save percentage (.588), and tied for 17^th in saves per game (12.00).
 
RMU paces the NEC in assists per game, points per game, goals against average (9.25), save percentage, and shots on goal per game (26.00). Heger leads the league in goals against average and save percentage. Junior attack Adrian Torok-Orban is one of 25 players nationally who currently boasts a 20-plus game point scoring streak (20 games, 43 goals, 14 assists, 57 points since Apr. 25, 2015).
