Colgate ends Cornell's home streak
Three straight losses, two at home, had taken a little of the shine off Colgate's 4-0 start. The Raiders restored a little of the luster with an impressive road win Saturday.

Kyle Roemer scored 18 points for Colgate, which trailed as many as 8 points in the second half before rallying to beat Cornell 76-73. A 9-0 run gave the Raiders a 50-49 lead with 6:58 left. Cornell tied it at 53-53, but Roemer scored 5 straight points to put Colgate ahead for good.

Daniel Waddy with a save in relief of Roemer at the foul line down the stretch. Whether by design, or forced by denial defense on Roemer, it was Waddy's hands on the ball down the stretch, when Cornell was fouling to extend the game. It was a tactic wasted. Waddy knocked down 9 of 10 in the last 31 seconds, finishing with 16 points.
Willie Morse with 11 off the bench for the Raiders, who handed Cornell its first home loss in five games this season.
