Colgate Used a Pair of Lengthy Runs to Cruise to a 14-3 Victory Over Host Columbia Sunday

NEW YORK – Colgate Women's Lacrosse used a pair of lengthy runs to overpower host Columbia and cruise to a 14-3 victory Sunday at Robert K. Kraft Field.

Columbia and Colgate exchanged goals during the final 10 minutes of the contest to determine the final 11-goal margin.
