Green Bay has played Robert Morris just three times and has never lost to the Colonials, owning a 2-0-1 record. The first meeting was on 9/13/09, a 2-0 shutout. The Colonials joined the Horizon League in time for the 2020 season.
ABOUT THE COLONIALS
Jason O'Keefe is in his third season with RMU, posting an 11-24-3 record. Chase Gilley is a player to watch on RMU, proving he can do it all. Gilley, a junior from Denver, North Carolina, paces the team in goals (5), shots (21), and shots on goal (14). He is also part of a five-way tie at the top in assists (2) on the team.
TOUGH TOBIAS
Starting goalkeeper Tobias Jahn has been outstanding for the Phoenix. He has faced 130 shots, registering 47 saves while surrendering just 12 goals, the second-fewest in the Horizon League. Jahn has pitched four shutouts, tied for second in the HL, and has recorded a 79.7-percent save percentage, the best in the HL. Through 14 games, Green Bay is the only HL team to have a GAA (goals against average) under 1.00. He was rewarded with the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week on October 3. He was the third GB player to garner the accolade this year.
WALK THIS WAY
Keegan Walker, an Ontario, Canada native, leads the Phoenix in multiple categories. He has scored a team-leading three goals, tied with Andrew Paolucci, and has notched 22 shots and 14 shots on goal. Walker is also third on the team in points (6). He and Paolucci, another Ontario native, have combined for three of Green Bay's six go-ahead goals, with Walker tallying two.
BIG TIME BRACE
Josh Johansen helped the Phoenix secure a huge three points last time out against Purdue Fort Wayne. The redshirt-sophomore had a brace in the 3-1 win over the Mastodons to keep the team squarely in the hunt for a Horizon League Championship spot. Johansen has been a key piece in head coach Jeremy Bonomo's lineup this season, sitting near the top of most statistical categories. The Huntley, Illinois native is in a four-way tie for second with two goals, is in a five-way tie for second with two assists, is third on the team with six points, and leads the squad in shots (25) and shots on goal (16).
