Sunday was a busy day at the North Athletic Complex, both the men’s and women’s soccer teams were in action on a beautiful fall day in Moon Township. The women’s team (3-6-1, 1-1-0) played first, losing 1-0 against Bryant (5-3-2, 3-0-1). The lone goal came at 40:52 and that was all the Bulldogs needed for the win. The soccer team did put more shots on goal than Bryant, outshooting them 8-6. The RMU women’s soccer team will play Wagner (3-6-1, 1-0-1) on the road on October 4.

The final game of the weekend was a matchup between the men’s soccer team and Fairleigh Dickinson (4-3-1, 0-0-1). The team looked to continue the momentum they picked up after winning just two days prior. But after 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute overtimes, no goals were scored by either team, so the final score was 0-0. The men’s soccer team plays Merrimack (3-3-1, 1-0-0) at Merrimack on October 4.
