From the Source
Colgate Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"This was an absolutely stellar weekend for our men's team. They followed up a high quality win last night with a business-like effort against a solid La Salle squad. We are 7-2 at roughly the halfway point, not quite reaching our 9-0 goal. Each week the guys get tougher physically and mentally. We look forward to returning home next weekend against Roberts Wesleyan."

Up Next
- Colgate returns to action March 5 against Roberts Wesleyan. The match is scheduled for a Noon start at the Turning Stone Sportsplex in nearby Verona.
