<p>An incredible victory took place in Bethlehem, PA
Colgate Raiders Football beat Lehigh U. for the Patriot League Championship!
Way to go!
Colgate</a> University News</p>
<p>I might as well pile on the Fall 2012 news about Colgate Raider intercollegiate athletics.</p>
<p>In addition to football, the women’s soccer team won the Patriot League title and the volleyball team is regular season PL champs hosting the tournament this weekend for the league title. Men’s soccer and field hockey participated in the PL 4 team tournaments too. A great result for the department and our student-athletes!</p>
<p>The sports scene delivers so much to the campus of 2900 students, 320 or so faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends. Colgate’s rural and picture perfect setting is intimate and a perfect setting to enjoy collegiate athletics. With Davidson, Colgate is the only D1 college in the CC top LAC twenty- apart from Army and Navy that is… I have always wondered if they have as much in common with LACs given their size and funding basis.</p>
<p>Now winter sports are fully underway. We can all look forward to exciting ECAC ice hockey as well as the PL basketball and swimming seasons. </p>
<p>If you are curious about traditions and school spirit at Colgate look at colgate.edu and gocolgateraiders.com for comprehensive and generous presentations. </p>

<p>About my last post, I have a correction to make. Please substitute USN&WR for CC in terms of the top 20 LAC category I cited.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Thank you markham for updating the news for all Colgate Raider Intercollegiate News!
Awesome!</p>
<p>Might as well mention the amazing Out Door Education Programs open to all Colgate staff, faculty and students. The Program is consistently ranked as one of the Nation’s Best.
Such unique offerings. Many classes even satisfy the Colgate PE requirement.
Classes such as kayaking, tree-climbing, snow shoeing, ice-climbing, caving and many more.<br>

<p>And yesterday Colgate’s volleyball team with its Coach of the Year Ryan Baker took the the Patriot League title from perennial power American. See the story at gocolgateraiders.com</p>
<p>That’s 3 PL titles this autumn!</p>

<p>Too bad the soccer team fared poorly…</p>
<p>“Poorly”? They had a 3-1-3 conference result, a 5-8-6 overall and made the PL tournament.
Would you also say the teams that did not qualify did “poorly”? </p>
<p>My view is that they did their best and have a terrific program. Ask them or their coaches and you will hear what an elite college D1 program is all about.</p>
