Robert Morris Sweeps Player of the Week Honors


Defensive Player of the Week
Kelly Colegrove, Robert Morris, Defender   
Colegrove was an integral part of an RMU defensive unit that limited CMU to just seven goals, the fewest they've scored against a MAC opponent this year and the second fewest against any team they've faced. Colegrove caused three turnovers and scooped five ground balls, tied for most on the team on the afternoon.  A caused turnover and ground ball from Colegrove early in the second led to a quick transition goal for RMU as they restored a two-goal lead in the eventual victory, one of the key turning points on Saturday's game. 
 
Offensive Player of the Week    
Melanie Gandy, Robert Morris, Attack        
Gandy was integral in helping RMU take down the Chippewas for first place in the MAC standings Saturday, potting four goals including a hat trick in the first half.  After falling behind 1-0, Gandy's first half hat trick was part of a 4-0 run for the Colonials, reversing a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead, a lead which they would maintain for the reminder of the game.  After CMU cut the lead down to one goal at the start of the second, Gandy scored a fourth time to give RMU more breathing room as they held off the CMU comeback.  She finished with seven total shots including five on goal as well as two ground balls.
