Positive covid-19 test forces Robert Morris to cancel game Saturday against Milwaukee
Robert Morris’ home game against Milwaukee, scheduled for Saturday at UPMC Events Center, was canceled less than two hours before tipoff after a positive covid-19 test and related safety concerns emerged within the Colonials’ program.
The cancellation is the fifth for Robert Morris this season.
The Colonials (3-3, 2-1 Horizon League) defeated Milwaukee, 67-64, on Friday night but played the game without guards Jon Williams and Dante Treacy, who were held out because of covid protocols.
Robert Morris’ next scheduled games are on the road Friday and Saturday against IUPUI.
