Lacrosse Schedule Set

Fri, Jan 14, 2011

Colgate Athletic Director David Roach and men's lacrosse Head Coach Jim Nagle have announced the 2011 men's lacrosse schedule.

"We are excited about the 2011 men's lacrosse schedule which features some terrific action with Hobart, Dartmouth and Hofstra and our strong Patriot League schedule," said Roach. "Even though it's January, the season will be here very quickly and we hope to have another great year of Colgate lacrosse."

The Raiders will play five home games and nine on the road including the season opener at Hoftstra on Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 4 p.m. Other non-league games for Colgate include the home opener against Robert Morris (March 1), at Vermont (Feb. 20), at Dartmouth (Feb. 26), at Hobart (March 5), versus Binghamton (March 15), at Fairfield (March 19) and at Maryland (May 7).

Colgate's first home game will be its first meeting against Robert Morris. The Raiders will then open Patriot League play when it hosts Holy Cross on March 12 at 1 p.m. The remainder of the conference schedule will include two televised home games against Army on April 2 at 1 p.m., which will be televised on Time Warner Cable Sports, and versus Bucknell on April 23 at 7 p.m., which will also be televised on CBS College Sports. The remainder of the conference schedule will be played on the road with games against Navy (March 26), Lehigh (April 9) and Lafayette (April 16).

Army is the defending tournament champion in the Patriot League after going 6-0 in conference play in 2010. The Raiders completed the season with a 2-4 league record, narrowly missing out on a Patriot League Tournament berth when it fell to Bucknell in its final league game 8-7 in overtime.

This year's Patriot League Tournament is set for April 29 – May 1. The top four teams in the league standings will qualify for the tournament that will be hosted by the highest seed.

Colgate finishes its regular season with a contest against Maryland on May 7, in College Park, Md. The Raiders are 0-6 all-time against the Terps, who won the last meeting 18-10 in 2010.

This season, Colgate will look to improve on its previous 3-10 overall record.

"We respect all the opponents on our schedule and feel we can be competitive against all of them," Nagle said. "College Lacrosse has so much parity now you have to bring all of your talents to every game."
