Head Coach Kathy Taylor

"Army is always a strong physical team and today was no different. I have stated before, lacrosse is a game of runs and our challenge is always to limit scoring runs. Today we made too many mistakes to stay with them on the scoreboard. Credit to Army as they capitalized on our young errors, but I was proud of the grit we showed, competing hard for the complete game." 

Colgate returns to the road on Wednesday to face Bucknell in Lewisburg. Opening draw is scheduled for 5 p.m.
