Raiders Lose at Lafayette

Junior Yaw Gyawu scored a team-high 18 points, while classmate Sterling Melville (in photo) recorded a career-high 13 in the Raiders' 75-64 loss at Lafayette tonight.

Colgate (1-14, 0-2) led 11-10 midway through the first half and exchanged baskets with the Leopards, until Lafayette went on a 6-0 run to build a 30-23 lead with 2:34 remaining. The Raiders responded with a 5-2 run, including a three pointer by Melville as time expired to enter the lockeroom down 32-28.

Lafayette (6-11, 1-1) opened the second half with an 11-0 run to build a 43-28 lead and never looked back. The Leopards led by as much as 20, 54-34, with 12 minutes remaining, before Colgate responded with a 25-14 run to trim the lead to 68-59 with 1:39 remaining. Lafayette made six of seven free throw attempts down the stretch to grab its first league win.

Colgate will host American on Saturday to start a three-game homestand. The game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. at Cotterell Court and is Colgate faculty and staff ticket giveaway day (four free tickets with ID).
