LAST TIME OUT
Robert Morris extended its winning streak to three-straight when it captured a 1-0 victory over Saint Francis before playing to a 0-0 draw against Purdue Fort Wayne.

The winning tally came at the 2:54-mark, when junior Chase Gilley found the right side of the net for his team leading fourth goal, after a give-and-go sequence. The Gilley brothers were able to get into open field as Chase Gilley pushed a ball towards Logan Gilley, who served up a pass to the left side of the box for the game winner.

Against the Mastodons, the Colonials defense was stellar in the second half as they held Purdue Fort Wayne to one shot on goal that came at the 77:17-mark. In the 84th minute, Robert Morris threatened to break the scoring drought after junior Hugo Kadima got into open field and put a rocket on goal that was saved nicely by the Mastodons.

TEAM LEADERS
Through seven contests, Chase Gilley sits in the top five of multiple categories in the Horizon League. He has tallied four goals and two assists for a total of 10 points, while averaging 1.43 points per game, which sits third in the conference. Gilley is only one of three players in the league to record two game-winners and has only attempted nine shots on goal.

SCOUTING THE RAIDERS
The Raiders were picked fifth in the preseason poll and come into Saturday's match with a 2-3-3 record this season and a 2-0-1 mark in league action. Wright State is coming off a 1-0 shutout win over Northern Kentucky last Saturday.

This will be the eighth meeting between these two teams as Robert Morris holds a 4-3-0 all-time record over the Raiders. The Colonials captured a 2-1 victory last October in Dayton, Ohio.
