Preview: Robert Morris Colonials at Fort Wayne Mastodons FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Interstat) — A pivotal Horizon League women’s basketball clash is set for Tuesday when the Robert Morris Colonials visit the Fort Wayne Mastodons at Gates Sports Center. The Colonials (14-6 overall) enter with momentum, having won three of their last four, including a commanding 74-53 road victory at Wright State on Saturday. Robert Morris boasts a balanced attack, with forward Ava Leroux coming off a dominant 19-point, 8-rebound performance in that win. Over her last five games, Leroux is averaging 12.2 points and 5.2 rebounds, providing consistent interior production. Fort Wayne (13-8) is also riding high after a thrilling 97-91 overtime win at Northern Kentucky, fueled by a career-high 27 points from guard Rylee Bess. Bess has been on a scoring tear, averaging 20.8 points over her last four contests. Her backcourt duel with Robert Morris’s Jada Lee, who dished out seven assists against Wright State, will be a key matchup. This game is a quick rematch of a Jan. 8 meeting in Moon Township, Pa., where Robert Morris secured a 74-64 victory. In that game, the Colonials contained Bess to 14 points in just 17 minutes, while Leroux added 8 points off the bench. The contest features two of the league’s top offensive threats. Fort Wayne’s offense runs through Bess and Jordan Reid, who had 19 points and 7 rebounds against Northern Kentucky. Robert Morris counters with Leroux and Myriam Traore, who scored 22 points in the win at Wright State. With both teams jockeying for position in the conference standings, Tuesday’s result could have significant implications. Robert Morris will look to sweep the season series, while the Mastodons aim to defend their home court and avenge the earlier loss. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
