HAMILTON – The Raiders created their shot opportunities, but offensive momentum did not fall in Colgate's favor as the team was outscored 59-36 against Binghamton.

The Bearcats built a 9-4 lead, but Colgate, playing at a high level, scored a jumper from Ella Meabon and a trey from Hankerson to level the score at nine. Gamal's block helped keep Binghamton from scoring more than four points the remainder of the quarter as Colgate trailed 13-11.
