Matt Rogers injury update
Rogers has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with a knee injury.
He departed the game for a second time with 5:28 left in the first half after twisting his knee while defending a drive to the basket.
The team had him working out on the exercise bike after he initially came out of the game. Rogers returned with 7:54 remaining in the opening half before the knee gave out again.
A finalist for the 2024-25 Lou Henson National Player of the Year Award – given to the top mid-major player in college basketball – the Patriot League Tournament MVP has spent all five seasons with the Eagles.
He ranks sixth in program history for points scored (1,849) and ninth in rebounds (758), while playing in a program-record 136 games. Rogers averaged 17.0 points and 5.6 rebounds this season.
Rogers' absence was noticeable for American University, as Mount St. Mary's finished the first half with a 10-point lead.
