Colgate Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"This was a stellar way to end the fall in style. The men beat Lafayette decisively, for the first time since 2010 beat host Lehigh, and came out on top over MAC runner up Binghamton. Each year our program gets deeper, the culture gets stronger and our record improves. We have the potential for an outstanding spring record and a strong Patriot League finish."

Up Next
- Colgate completes its fall slate, Oct. 22-24, with an appearance in the ITA Fall Regionals. The three-day event takes place at Yale.
