Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"The men had a very solid, impressive weekend, winning close to 20 matches in two days. We played vintage Colgate doubles, with Alter/Rosenblat winning A Flight and Hirschberg/Reynolds winning A Flight doubles backdraw. Alter then came within two points of winning A Flight singles.
 
"We have a very seasoned group of proven winners with a 38-20 dual match record for the seniors. We must be relentless for our ultimate goal to make a deep run in the spring tourney. Next up ITAs at Penn for Alter and Rosenblat."
