Colgate women's lacrosse celebrated a significant achievement as Hunter Drouin scored his 100th career goal during a commanding victory over Lafayette. In a five-point performance, Drouin netted two goals and provided three assists, becoming just the 11th player in program history to reach this milestone. The Raiders' offensive prowess was evident as they secured the win, further solidifying their position in the Patriot League standings. Meanwhile, Kayla Martin of the softball team garnered recognition as the Patriot League Rookie of the Week after an outstanding series against Army. Martin batted .545 over the weekend, including a three-run home run in Game 2, contributing to Colgate's 3-1 series victory.

In men's golf, the Raiders concluded their participation in the Wildcat Spring Invitational, hosted by Villanova, with Ronav Benak leading the team. Benak finished the 54-hole event at 13-over-par, climbing 26 spots to secure a top-15 finish among a competitive field. Brayden Dock also showcased steady play, finishing at 15-over-par, while Leo Li and Alex Hill rounded out the team's efforts. Coach Kircher expressed pride in the team's resilience under challenging conditions, as they now turn their focus to the upcoming Patriot League Championship in West Point.

On the basketball front, Andrew Alekseyenko's inaugural season with the Raiders has been noteworthy. The freshman made an immediate impact, scoring 14 points in his debut against Michigan State, ranked No. 22 at the time. He went on to average 14.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, starting in all 33 contests and leading the team in rebounds. His consistent scoring has been a bright spot for a program looking to improve after a challenging previous season.
