LAST TIME OUT
The Colonials dropped a pair of conference matches last week, falling 2-1 to Wright State on Thursday before dropping a 3-0 decision at IUPUI on Sunday.

On Thursday, The Raiders took a 1-0 advantage into the half before stretching its lead in the 56th minute, 2-0. Robert Morris looked to make a comeback as they trimmed the deficit at the 63:35- mark on a goal by senior Kayla Veloso-Lima.

After one corner kick was tipped out of bounds, the Colonials were awarded another and took advantage of the opportunity. Senior Gabriella Lecuona took the corner kick for RMU as she placed a ball to the far-left post that found the foot of Veloso-Lima to trim the lead.

TEAM LEADERS
Lecuona, Veloso-Lima, junior Haleigh Finale and freshman Elisa Corvalan sit tied for first on the team with three goals this fall. Lecuona has tallied three assists as well for a team leading nine points, while Finale sits second with eight. Veloso-Lima, Corvalan and freshman Malia Kearns all are tied for third on the team with seven total points.
