Binghamton (0-0) at Colgate (0-0)
Our offense is on fire to start the new season and we blow these guys out, 94-75. Michael Brown was quite the surprise as he breaks the Colgate single game scoring record with a 37 point performance! Fielding put up 14 points and 11 boards. Craven had 10 points and 10 assists, while Straight had 10 points as well.

Gardner Webb (0-1) at Colgate (1-0)
This game was a bit closer, but we move to 2-0 on the season with a 74-67 victory. Brown leads the team with 24 points and also pulled in 10 boards. Murphy scored 21 and Craven chipped in with a dozen, along with 9 assists. I have no idea where Michael Brown came from!

Mount St. Mary’s (0-2) at Colgate (2-0)
Another easy win for us at home, and we open up the season 3-0 with a 74-49 win. Brown cools off but still scores 10. Murphy leads the way with 27 on the day and Craven had 15. We are clearly an outside oriented team.

Liberty (0-0) at Colgate (3-0)
The problem with an outside team is when the shots don’t fall, you are in trouble. That is exactly what happened here as we lose, 74-62. We had 4 players score in double figures, but nobody really opened it up and there were a few pretty bad shooting percentages out there., along with 21 turnovers.
