LEWISBURG, Pa. – Colgate's final day of the Patriot League championship was highlighted by the two more program records falling on Saturday evening inside Bucknell's Kinney Natatorium. Colgate finished the weekend in 10th with 307 total points.
COACH PRETRE'S COMMENTS
"Incredible week for the team. We definitely had a great time this week. Amazing chemistry on deck and to see where our program has gone over the last few years has just been really remarkable. The place in our standings doesn't necessarily dictate how well we are doing, and we know we are closing the gap with the points to move up the standings. Very proud of our student-athletes at Colgate and we look forward to more success and in the years to come."
