Midfielder, Griffin Brown, has contributed 19 points on 14 goals and five assists for Colgate. Nicky Petkevich, attackman, also has 19 points in 2019, scoring 16 goals and adding three assists.
Defensively, Colgate relies on senior Connor Mullen in goal, who owns a 50.0 save percentage. Long-stick midfielder, Nick Salameda has a team-high 12 caused turnovers. Malcolm Feene, a junior, has scooped up 45 ground balls for the Raiders and has won 51.9 % of his faceoffs.
