From the Source
Colgate senior captain Mark Pronchick
"Siena is a scrappy team for sure, but this is why we've been working so hard this season; to make sure we are able to defeat teams like them that when they stand in our way. This victory was for our loyal leader coach Pennington, who is busy at home awaiting the birth of his second child. We miss his leadership, both on and off the court, and are excited for his return."

Up Next
- Colgate returns to action Saturday with a 2 p.m. match against the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
