Colgate’s offense struggled without key playmakers as the Raiders fell 33-7 to No. 17/16 Lehigh. The Mountain Hawks controlled the game with a powerful rushing attack and more than 500 yards of offense; Colgate’s only score came on an 18-play, 96-yard drive late in the fourth quarter.

By the Numbers
  • Lehigh outgained Colgate by more than 500 yards to 182.
  • Luke Yoder rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries.
  • Colgate managed 77 rushing yards on 26 carries.
  • Lehigh held the ball for 38:24; Colgate had possession for 21:36.
Yes, But

Colgate was missing top offensive weapons Matt Fogler and Winston Moore, and Danny Shaban played limited snaps. The Raiders showed late resilience with a 96-yard touchdown drive, but it came after Lehigh had built a 33-0 lead.

What’s Next

Colgate (5-5, 3-3 Patriot League) hosts Lafayette next Saturday at 1 p.m. for its final regular-season home game. The Raiders will honor 17 seniors before kickoff.

Bottom Line

Lehigh’s dominance on the ground and Colgate’s offensive absences proved decisive. The Raiders now have one home game left to close the regular season on a stronger note.
