The Syracuse Orange nearly stumbled in its regular season finale against the Colgate Raiders. Colgate nearly took down the Orange led by the excellent goalie play of Brandon Burke, but timely faceoff wins and saves from Bobby Wardwell pushed the Orange past the 'Gate.
Saturday's 9-7 win over the Colgate Raiders was a nail biter from start to finish.
Colgate came out firing, refusing to give the Syracuse Orange its first lead the game until 4:49 in the second quarter. If I'm a seeded team in the NCAAT, this Colgate team is not one you want to play.
