AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (Interstat) — A surging Robert Morris looks to solidify its Horizon League standing when it visits a struggling Oakland squad on Saturday. The Colonials (17-10) enter the Athletics Center O’rena having won three of their last four, including a 66-55 road victory at Detroit on Thursday. Oakland (9-17) snapped a five-game skid with a 71-64 win at Fort Wayne on Wednesday. Robert Morris, which sits in the upper tier of the conference, is led by standout guard Myriam Traore. She is averaging 17.6 points over her last five games, including a 22-point performance against Detroit. Her backcourt play will be central to the Colonials’ attack. Oakland will counter with dynamic guard Makenzie Luehring, who is coming off a near triple-double with 17 points and nine assists against Fort Wayne. Luehring has been a consistent offensive force, scoring 20 or more points in four of her last eight contests. The Golden Grizzlies will need that production to keep pace. Defense has been an issue, allowing 62 points or more in seven consecutive games before the Fort Wayne win. This is a rematch of a Dec. 29 meeting, which Oakland won 61-58 in Moon Township. The Colonials will seek to avenge that narrow loss and complete a Michigan road sweep after the Detroit win. Tipoff is set for Saturday afternoon. Robert Morris’s next game is Feb. 28 against Wright State. Oakland hosts Northern Kentucky on Feb. 25 before visiting Cleveland State on Feb. 28.
