Colgate Overpowers Rider, 4-1

Raiders Go 2-0 on Opening Weekend

HAMILTON – The Raiders had a hot early start and maintained a high level of play throughout the match to top Rider, 4-1. Three goals came in the first quarter, while the fourth was scored in the third.

Colgate is now 2-0 on the season and matched its best start since 2020. The Raiders rallied, as the last time they beat the Broncs was in 2023 in overtime.



MOMENTS OF THE MATCH
  • Colgate was on the attacking end primarily to start the first quarter. The Raiders fired off three shots, all saved by the Broncs' keeper, until Morgan Willis' third shot of the day was scored off a solo attempt on net.
  • The Raiders had a wave of fresh subs come in that helped lead to Colgate earning back-to-back corners. On their second attempt, Willis assisted Olivia Milia to score her first collegiate goal and put the Raiders up 2-0.
  • Colgate fired off 14 total shots in the first quarter and ended it on the buzzer with Kyleigh Welusz putting the ball in the back of the net from a corner assisted by Aiden Cronk and Annie Lake.
  • The second quarter showed more competitive play from Rider, as the shots were leveled in favor of Colgate, 2-1.
  • The Raiders entered halftime with a 3-0 lead.
  • Out of the break, Colgate returned with more life and outshot the Broncs, 6-1, including Willis' second goal of the day on an individual effort from driving the baseline and threading the needle on goal number four.
  • The Raiders went down two players in the fourth quarter due to yellow cards but did not concede goals during that period, with a save coming from Kennedy Glinn.
  • Rider scored its first tally late in the 55th minute to get on the scoreboard.
  • Colgate concluded the game with a 4-1 victory over Rider.
NOTES
  • First-year Marissa Buck earned her first collegiate start in the net.
  • This is the second time in Willis' career she has scored two or more goals in a game.
  • Within the last two games played, the Raiders averaged 18 shots on goal.
  • This is the second game in a row in which Colgate has had multiple goal scorers.
UP NEXT
The Raiders will resume play on Tyler's Field on Friday, as they host UAlbany, which is slated for a 5 p.m. start.
