COLGATE
ENDS SEASON WITH 2-1 LOSS TO ARMY
November 3, 2000
Michele Kelley, Athletic Communications Student Assistant
HAMILTON, N.Y. - Sophomore Nick
Trotta scored the game-winning goal for Army with less than
eight minutes to play in the game to give the Black Knights a
2-1 victory over Colgate University.
Junior Tim Gerges scored the
lone goal for the Red Raiders in a valiant effort against
Army, but the 7-10-1 Colgate squad came up short, and finished
their season with a 1-4-1 Patriot League record.
The Red Raiders managed to keep
Army scoreless for almost the entire first half, but freshman
Tim Crook snuck the ball past Red Raider goalkeeper Jon
Brunell with eight seconds left to put the Black Knights up
1-0 at the half. Gerges tied the game at 52:10, but any
hope for a victory was dashed when Trotta shot one into the
top right corner to put away the game.
This was the final regular
season league game for both teams. Colgate finishes last
in the Patriot League. Army plays a non-conference game
against Fordham on Tuesday, and is still in the hunt for a
chance at post-season play. The Black Knights are
currently fifth in the league, and the final league game of
the season between fourth place Lehigh and first place
Bucknell will determine their final season ranking.
