Colgate falls from ranks of unbeaten
Two words you will likely hear a lot out of Emmett Davis' mouth the next few Raiders practices; Box out.

Spongey Benjamin's putback with 10 seconds to go gave Marist a 61-60 win in front of 478 fans in Hamilton, handing Colgate its first loss after a 4-0 start.

Benjamin's game-winner negated a Colgate comeback that saw them claw their way out of an 11-point second-half deficit. The game was tied at the half, 31-31, but Marist pushed the lead to 11 early in the second and was still up 48-38 with 7:45 to go before the Raiders put together a 12-0 run, tying it on an Alex Woodhouse dunk and taking the lead when Kyle Roemer hit both free throws after a technical on Marist's Ben Farmer.

The Raiders had two chances to stretch the lead. On the ensuing possession, Roemer, who finished with 15 points but was 4 for 13 from the field, missed a three. And after Marist cut it to one with a Ryan Stilphen free throw, Daniel Waddy missed a three at the Colgate end, setting the stage for Benjamin's heroics. Colgate had one more chance, but Waddy, who finished with 13 points, missed a desperation three at the buzzer.
