EASTON, Pa. – The Raiders competed in the Lafayette Invitational on Friday evening in Easton, Pa.

COACH FRANCE'S COMMENTS

"Today was a controlled, effort tempo workout for our team. With our focus being our championship season it was crucial for our team to train through this meet while also getting a chance to visualize and preview the Patriot League race course. It's not the prettiest stats to look at on paper, but this team knows the plan, stayed disciplined, and executed exactly what we wanted to accomplish at this stage of the season. Back to work we go!"
