HORIZON LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

INDIANAPOLIS  – The Robert Morris Men's Basketball team are the 2025 Horizon League Champions.
 
The Colonials (26-8) secured their first Horizon League title with a 89-78 victory over Youngstown State (21-13) on Tuesday night at Corteva Coliseum. The win marks RMU's 10th NCAA Tournament appearance and extends their winning streak to 10 games.

All-Tournament selection Josh Omojafo delivered a standout performance with 24 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, while Tournament MVP Kam Woods contributed 17 points. Alvero Folgueiras added 14 points and a career-best seven assists to fuel RMU's victory.
 
1st HALF
RMU stormed out to an 11-0 lead in the first three minutes, fueled by two early three-pointers from Woods. Youngstown State responded, cutting the deficit to 19-17 midway through the half. The Penguins pulled within a single point inside the final two minutes, but an Ismael Plet dunk and a Woods layup sent RMU into halftime with a 34-29 lead.

2nd HALF
Youngstown State's Cris Carroll hit a three-pointer at 11:23 to close the gap to 54-52, but RMU took control down the stretch. A clutch Folgueiras three-pointer at 4:58 pushed the lead to 73-62, and the Colonials maintained their double-digit cushion, sealing the win with an Omojafo free throw to make it 89-76.
