The Robert Morris Colonials men's lacrosse team represents Robert Morris University in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I men's lacrosse. The Colonials became a varsity program in 2005.

History[]

Robert Morris currently competes in the ASUN Conference and plays its home games at Joe Walton Stadium in the Pittsburgh suburb of Moon Township, Pennsylvania. RMU had been a member of the Northeast Conference (NEC) through the 2020 season, but left that league to join the Horizon League, which does not sponsor men's lacrosse. The Colonials then became an independent for the immediate future. Ultimately, their stint as an independent would only last one season; on February 5, 2021, RMU was unveiled as a member of the newly reinstated ASUN men's lacrosse league, which starts play in the 2022 season.[2]

In 2018, Robert Morris was the number one seed in the NEC year-end tournament, reaching the finals where they defeated Saint Joseph’s 9-8 to reach their first NCAA tournament in lacrosse.

Robert Morris is 105-125 over 16 Seasons, with 7 NEC Tournaments, 2 NEC Tournament titles, 2 NCAA Tournaments and 1 NEC Regular-Season title.
