Colgate Head Coach Cathy Foto (on team's performance against Rider)
"We played hard against a though, physical Rider team. We got on the board which was important, but they were able to apply a great amount of offensive pressure while we struggled to get the shots we needed. The last 10 minutes of the game we took control again and we we proud of how we finished. The team knows that being consistent for all 70 minutes is important and that is what we will focus on as we return to Patriot League play next weekend."
