Robert Morris Sees Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Teams Advance in Conference Tournaments

Both of the Robert Morris men’s and women’s lacrosse teams advanced to the championship games of their respective conference tournaments after thrilling wins on Thursday afternoon.

The women’s team led Detroit Mercy throughout the MAC semifinal matchup and eventually closed out the tight 13-9 victory to advance to Saturday’s championship game while the men’s team used a bit more dramatics to win their NEC semifinal game against Long Island.

Moving on! That's a Bobby Mo WINNER!! 😤😤

The Colonials led the Sharks for a majority of the game before LIU took an 11-10 lead late in the fourth quarter. As time winded down on the Colonials’ hopes, Bobby Reaume fired a last-second shot toward the net and managed to sneak it past the Sharks’ goaltender with 0.1 seconds left on the clock.

Robert Morris went on to score the game-winning goal just 14 seconds into overtime after the NEC Player of the Year Bo Columbus won the opening face-off and fed it to the NEC First-Teamer Calum Brennan who scored his eighth goal of the game to send the Colonials home as winners.

Who else but Calum Brennan 🥶
