“We are excited about the schedule we have created, it may be the first time in my head coaching career we have more non-conference home games than road games,” said RMU head coach Andy Toole in a press release. “We want to be able to allow our student-athletes to test themselves against teams that will prepare us for Horizon League play. This schedule will allow us to understand who we are as a team and give us the chance to create the connectivity needed to chase a Horizon League championship.”
