Colgate Head Coach Bobby Pennington
(on match)
"I am very proud of our women for their effort today against a very talented SUNY Cortland team. We have no seniors this year and we've had to battle through some ups and downs. To end the regular season on a two-match winning streak and secure the No. 6 seed in a very competitive Patriot League shows their heart. The future is very bright for them."

Up Next
- Colgate will host the 2015 Patriot League Championship this weekend. The Raiders are the No. 6 seed for the event and will face No. 3 seed Army in the quarterfinal round Friday at the Sportsplex at Turning Stone.
