ALL-LEAGUE HONORS
Point guard Mitch Rolls was named the Patriot League Men's Basketball Anaconda Rookie of the Week, following his performance against Stony Brook (Dec. 14). This marks the first-ever weekly honor for Rolls and the first for a Raider this season.

THE DAVIS FILE
Head coach Emmett Davis (St. Lawrence, 1984) is in his 12th year in charge at Colgate, owning the most wins in school history with 153.
During coach Davis' decade long tenure, the Colgate program has been a model of consistency.  In nine of his 11 seasons, Davis has led the Raiders to either the upper division of the Patriot League standings or advanced the team to the semifinals or finals of the conference tournament.  From 2001-2004 the Raiders finished with three consecutive regular season winning records (2001-02…17-10, 2002-03…14-13, and 2003-04…14-13) and in 2007-08 the Raiders tied the school record for wins in a season with 18. 
Davis reached another career milestone in November 2005, as Colgate defeated Matt Doherty's Florida Atlantic team 78-74 earning coach Davis his 100th career victory making him just the fifth coach in school history to win 100 games.

PATRIOT LEAGUE PRESEASON POLL
The Raiders have been selected fifth in the Patriot League preseason poll in voting done by the league coaches and sports information directors.
Holy Cross notched 13 first-place votes and 95 points overall to claim the top spot, and were followed in order by Lehigh (78), Bucknell (63), Army (59), Colgate (51), American (45), Navy (43) and Lafayette (14).

The Raiders made the Patriot League semifinals for the second straight time last season, and have five starters back in the lineup. That group includes the top three scorers from last year, as Mike Venezia (10.8 ppg), Ben Jonson (10.4) and Yaw Gyawu (10.2) all averaged in double figures. The Raiders also bring back senior guard/forward Kyle Roemer, a Second-Team All-Patriot League pick in 2007-08 who missed the 2008-09 season with an injury.

UP NEXT
Colgate will continue Patriot League play on Sunday, Jan. 17 as it travels to American. The game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EST. and will be aired live on CBS College Sports.
