Adams leads the team with eight points and six goals. Sophomore Mike Birney has four goals, which accounts for all four of his points, while junior Alex Maini has posted three goals and two assists on the season. Defensively, Hebden has a team-high six caused turnovers and seven ground balls and senior Tyler Corcoran has won 11-of-22 faceoffs with six GB's.

This will be RMU's third-straight home game to open the 2013 campaign as the Colonials have split the first two losing to Bellarmine, 9-8, before rebounding and beating UMBC, 12-9, last Saturday. Robert Morris was 11-4 last season and won the NEC regular-season title, but fell in the NEC championship to Mount St. Mary's, 16-15.

The Colonials lost their leading scorer from a year ago in Kiel Matisz (40g, 24a, 64p). Eric Rankel currently leads the team in scoring with six goals and nine points. Luke Laszkiewicz has five goals and six points, while Charles Ruppert has made 28 saves and has a 9.04 goals against average through the first two games.

Detroit is 0-3 all-time against Robert Morris, with two of the three losses coming on the road. The last time these two squads faced off, the Titans were edged in overtime, 14-13, at home after coming back from a 6-2 deficit after one and trailing 13-10 after three periods before outscoring the Colonials 3-0 in the final stanza. RMU would then post the game winner with 1:35 left in the extra session.

The other two contests took place on the road as UDM dropped an 18-8 decision in 2009 and a 16-5 game the following year.

This will be the final game before the Titans home opener next week, Mar. 2, when the red, white and blue host Quinnipiac at 11:00 a.m., at Titan Field.
