Pittsburgh, Pa. / North Athletic Complex - The
Robert Morris University men's soccer suffered a 1-0 setback at crosstown-rival
Duquesne University Wednesday night. The game was the end of a four-game road
trip as the Colonials opened the season with nine of 12 games away from North
Athletic Complex. RMU sits 1-4-1 while the Dukes move to 3-3-0.
A scoreless first half was played nearly dead even as both
teams registered five shots. The Colonials put two of those on net, but
Duquesne keeper Sam Frymier was up to task making half of his four saves in the
opening 45 minutes.
The Dukes tallied the game's lone score nine minutes after
the teams returned from halftime. Karter Sell got the goal, his third of the
season, as he beat RMU senior keeper Toba Bolaji (Vaughan, Ontario / Maple)
with the breakaway marker.
The host Dukes managed one more shot than RMU, 13-12. Bolaji
finished with five saves for RMU.
Robert Morris returns home to North Athletic Complex as the
Hartwick Hawks come to town for a 2:00 p.m. game Saturday, Sept. 15.
