Senior goalie Eric Levine made 51 saves as Robert Morris upset No. 5 Miami (Ohio) 1-0 Saturday night to claim the inaugural Three Rivers Classic championship.
Levine finished the weekend with 99 saves after making 48 Friday in the Colonials' 6-0 semifinal win over Penn State.
The teams played to a scoreless draw for 40 minutes, with Levine keeping the Colonials in the game despite being massively outshot.
With 12:06 left in the third period, Brandon Denham scored his first career goal to put the Colonials ahead. From there, Levine and the Robert Morris defense held on for the win.
