Three Raiders to represent Colgate at Patriot Leagues

WEST POINT, N.Y. – The women's tennis team continues the latter half of their fall season by attending the Patriot League Individual Tournament hosted by Army. The 2026 tournament will be the third time the event has been held. 

Two singles players and one doubles team from each Patriot League program will represent their team at the tournament. The champions of each division will receive direct entry into the ITA Conference Masters Championships, hosted at Rome Tennis Center in Rome, Georgia beginning on November 5.

COLGATE PLAYERS
Singles: Senior Captain Sophia Montero and Junior Rebecca Hess
Doubles: First year Mila Montero/S. Montero

In singles, S. Montero and Hess will both make their second appearances at the event. S. Montero made her first appearance in 2024 in the events first edition, in which she defeated her first round opponent from Holy Cross to make the quarterfinals. Her 2024 performance is the best by a Raider at the tournament in the two previous editions. Hess represented Colgate in 2025, where she fell to her opponent from Army in the round of 16. 

In doubles, the sister tandem of M. Montero/S. Montero will be the one selected team from the Raiders. The two will search for the first victory by a Colgate team in the tournament. S. Montero played in the doubles tournament in 2024, where her and then junior Amelia Galin fell in their first round match to Army. First year M. Montero will make her first appearance in the postseason tournament after a fall in which saw her collect her first collegiate wins in both singles and doubles.

Play will begin at Army in West Point, N.Y. on Friday and conclude on Sunday.
