SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Colgate women's tennis team fell to Army West Point, 7-0, Thursday afternoon at Drumlins Country Club.
 
The Raiders are now 5-11 on the season and 1-3 against Patriot League opponents. Army West Point improves to 16-6 and to 4-1 in conference play.
 
The senior-captain duo of Kelly Klein and Cheyenne Brown brought in the lone win of the afternoon for the Raiders in the No. 2 doubles match, 6-2. The win, which is the pair's second of the season, is their first since March 18 when they beat Holy Cross.

Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"Tough loss to a very disciplined, focused, talented Army team. The highlight of the day was Klein and Brown winning 6-2 at the No. 2 doubles match. In singles, we had a lot of 6-3 sets and really battled hard. We need to regroup and get ready for George Mason and Navy."
