The team suffered a third blanking at the hands of Clarkson in early November, however, after that loss the offense began to pick up the pace.

The Raiders kicked off the second half of their season with a decent showing against Maine but a bigger feat came in the middle of January.

Colgate finished the regular season with a losing record and were 1 point behind St. Lawrence for the final quarterfinal bye.

Entering postseason play, Colgate's only chance at an NCAA berth was by winning a conference championship, something the program hadn't done in 33 years.

While the Big Green opened the scoring, Colgate quickly tied the game and reeled off 5 consecutive goals to take a commanding lead.

The match moved into overtime and, with Carter Gylander, standing tall in goal, Young netted the game-winner to put the Raiders up by 1.

With Colgate still playing to save their season, the Raiders got a jump on the match with goals from Colton and Alex Young in the first.

Matthew Coronato managed to get a goal on the power play but the Raider defense stopped the rest and Colgate won just the second conference championship in program history.

Nic Belpedio managed to get the Raiders lone goal early in the third and both teams appeared willing to just play out the rest of the game.
