Colgate University Athletics

One of Colgate’s greatest shooters from beyond the arc, Seth Schaeffer finished his decorated career ranked first all-time in 3-point field goals made (266), first in 3-point field goals attempted (711), and ninth in career points (1,291). He earned Second Team All-Patriot League and the program’s Jack Bruen Most Improved Award in 1996. During the 1997-98 season, he led the Raiders in points with 492 (17.6 PPG), on his way to being named First Team All-Patriot League and NABC Second-Team All-District. He also earned team MVP and the Jack Mitchell Award, given to the senior player who combines the best of the athletic and academic worlds. Outside of the classroom, he was a member of Colgate’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee from 1996-98 and served as the president during his final year. Schaeffer was also a student representative on the NCAA Certification steering committee in 1998.
