FULL PREGAME RELEASE (pdf)
Saint Francis travels to Robert Morris on Saturday for the first game of a two-game set with the Colonials. The unorthodox back-to-back scheduling is a part of the Northeast Conference's 'Rivalry Week.'
The Red Flash has won four straight games to pull into the thick of the NEC post-season race and, with a win, can pull its record to .500 for the first time this season.
With an 8-4 mark in league play, Saint Francis is tied for third place and two games off the pace in the NEC standings.
SFU has won the last three and five of the last seven contests in the series to reclaim an all-time edge of 35-33. The Flash enjoyed its most successful stretch in the series from 1992 to 2005 when it won 26 of 28 meetings.
The Colonials come in looking to rebound from a road loss to Mount St. Mary's, 80-75, on Monday. At 6-6 in NEC play, RobertMorris is in a four-way tangle for fifth in the league standings.
The Flash and Colonials meet again in Loretto on Wednesday.
