HAMILTON - The Raiders fell to Army 3-0 at Beyer-Small '76 Field on Saturday afternoon.

Colgate will enter the final match of the season inside the postseason picture. 

COACH HOKANSON'S COMMENTS

"Tough one today. Statistically, the first half we were even in shots and corners, but they found ways to convert those chances and we didn't and that was the big difference in the game today. Unfortunate to not be able to come away with a goal or two, we had some chances to do that which I think would have made the afternoon feel differently. Nonetheless, we lost one half today which is the first one we've lost in a while, so though it doesn't feel great, we have a lot to be proud of in the way that we responded and fought in the second half. We'll regroup, learn from today, and look ahead to a critical game at Holy Cross on Wednesday."
