Sophomore netminder Rebecca Lahar made 34 saves for Colgate setting her record at 1-0 on the season.

Coach Wiley picked up his first win in his first ever game behind the bench as head coach.  "We played well and it's great to get our first win against a tough team, but tomorrow they are going to be gunning for us so it will be a tough game," said Wiley.
