Late Chippewa goal dooms Raiders
HAMILTON, N.Y. — In the final minutes, Central Michigan University edged out Colgate with a 2-1 victory, capitalizing on a fourth-quarter goal to secure the win.
COACH CORNELL-DEANGELIS' COMMENTS
"It was a tough loss today, we created a lot of attacking opportunities. I was happy to see our success in forcing turnovers on our press and the team worked to make sure they connected passes. However, we were not steady in the 4th quarter and gave CMU too many penalty corners and scoring opportunities. We need to continue working on stopping the play sooner outside the circle and we will move forward quickly to the next game. We have more work to do this weekend."
