PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Sean Donnelly and Ryan Genord each finished with six points as Drexel defeated Robert Morris, 19-13, on Saturday afternoon. The Colonials led 11-10, but the Dragons scored six straight times to take control of the game.

The Dragons raced out to a lead and led 10-5 at intermission. However, the Colonials opened the second half on a six-goal run to take the lead for the first and only time in the game. Brandon Sulhoff had three goals during the stretch. The Dragons responded with their own six-goal run to take momentum back and win going away.

Drexel led 12-11 after three.

Drexel's Collin Mailman rifled a shot past Robert Morris goalie Liam Rosenthal just over two minutes into the fourth. Just 11 seconds later, Jimmeh Koita won the draw, picked up the ground ball and found Charlie Maly at the 12:46 mark giving the Dragons a three-goal advantage. Coll and Jack Mulcahy added scores before Sulhoff scored his fifth of the game to stop the run. RMU could only get to within four the rest of the way as the Dragons won their second straight game.
