A year after advancing to the national championship, Colgate tied for third in the Patriot League.
In its ninth season under head coach Dick Biddle, the team compiled a 7–4 record.
Chris Brown, Luke Graham and Antrell Tyson were the team captains.
Losses quickly dropped Colgate to the bottom half of the top 25, and a league loss to unranked Bucknell in the second-to-last weekend of the season booted the Raiders from the rankings altogether.
The team played its home games at Andy Kerr Stadium in Hamilton, New York.
