Colgate Sweeps Rochester
Box Score HAMILTON – The Raiders capped off an undefeated weekend with a 7-0 sweep of Rochester for the squad's annual heart awareness match.
"A clean 7-0 sweep for the ladies to inch us back to .500," said head coach Bobby Pennington. "This match is so special to my family and myself. The ladies in doubles and singles didn't drop a set and made it memorable. We really are playing great doubles and singles and look forward to revenge on Providence."

Junior Amelia Galin and sophomore Sophia Montero won 6-3 at line one, senior captain Eliza Podlas and sophomore Carina Cristobal won 6-1 at line two, and senior captain Addie Eklund and first-year Rebecca Hess won 6-4.
