HAMILTON - A three-goal first period helped lift the Raiders to a dominant 5-1 over RPI on Friday at Class of 1965 Arena.

Chloe Goofers opened the scoring just over four minutes into the game after a shot was originally ruled no goal but after review put Colgate ahead 1-0. Emma Pais made it 2-0 on the power play later in the period off a feed from Alexia Aubin before Ava Wood capped off the perfect first frame. Colgate held RPI to just one shot on goal in the first period.
