FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"What a difference a week makes for the men. After playing by far our worst match of the year in all phases against Lehigh, the guys had a turning point and spark wining their fourth match in a row in six days, to improve to 9 and 6 and 2 and 1 in league.  The boys came out sharp and quick in the doubles and carried momentum through in singles. Game ball to Cameron Swanson for winning in his singles debut. We have arguably our biggest weekend coming up with Bucknell and Boston."
 
 "I am very humbled and grateful to reach 200 wins at Colgate. I have been blessed to work with so many great players and people along the way. I would also like to thank my parents and my wife Jenny for their unwavering support and my two kids Clifford and Mia, who serve as my motivation every day. Thanks to my supervisor Jamie Mitchell, assistant Bre and AD Vicky Chun for believing in me and helping me grow.  The best is yet to be."
