EMMITSBURG, Md. (August 23, 2024) – Former rivals in the Northeast Conference Mount St. Mary's and Robert Morris meet for the first time in non-conference play on Sunday at Waldron Family Stadium.
 
MOUNT UPDATE
 
A late goal to Binghamton usurped a valiant effort by the Mountaineers in the season opener. Julian Marcos had a solid debut in goal, making four key saves in the match. Junee Lee and Sherwin Chen posted on-target shots, and Abou Cherif had a potential goal waved off via an offside ruling. Half of the starting lineup and 10 players total came from the ranks of the newcomers.
 
SCOUTING THE COLONIALS
 
Robert Morris conceded a pair of first half goals in a 2-0 loss to the Bucknell Bison for their season opener. A tough stretch at the end of last year prevented the Colonials from playing in the postseason, but they retained their top three goal scorers entering this year. John Paul Mbuthia, Gabe Norris, and Kai McLoughlin each found the back of the net four times in 2023.  
 
THE ALL-TIME SERIES
 
As former conference foes, the two sides have met 28 times. Robert Morris holds the all-time advantage 14-9-5. Both teams were even until the turn of the 21^st Century when RMU made their first run. From 2008-2012, the Mount won four of five along with a draw.
 
LOOKING AHEAD
 
Heading up Highway 15, the Mount battles Bucknell Thursday (Aug. 29).
