HAMILTON – Coming off a strong weekend for Colgate Golf, first-years Jayden Freedman and Alex Hill garnered Patriot League Golfer of the Week honors on Wednesday afternoon.

Freedman eagled No. 13 in a stretch of four straight shots under par, where he shot 5-under on the back nine to finish tied for second. Hill fired a team-best 69 (-3) on Saturday to tie for second. His final round featured seven birdies, including 4-of-5 on the back nine, to climb the leaderboard.
