Key Games

2/1 @ Jacksonville

For the fourth season in a row, the Titans will face the Dolphins in an early season clash. Last season, Detroit Mercy subdued a late-game comeback from the Dolphins to secure a narrow 9-8 victory. 

2/18 vs Bellarmine

The Titans and the Knights have met every year since 2009. Bellarmine holds a 7-4 series lead but Detroit Mercy has won four out of the past five contest between these two programs, including a 15-14 win last season. Chris Jarzembowski  went 27-of-33 at the faceoff dot against the Knights last season, setting a new school record for ground balls and faceoffs won in a single game. 

3/4 vs Robert Morris

In 2020, Detroit Mercy will face Robert Morris- the two-time defensing NEC champs- for the first time since 2017 and  time in program history. While Robert Morris won 15-6 the last time these two met, this should be an interesting matchup as both teams lose their top scorer and some other key players from last season. 

4/18 vs Quinnipiac

The Titans will face the Bobcats in their second to last game of the season and will be looking to avenge their regular-season and MAAC semifinal loss to the Bobcats last season. In both contest, Quinnipiac was able to go on some game-changing runs to help them secure the win. However, Detroit Mercy only lost 12-9 in the regular-season meeting.
