Cornell travelled to Hamilton, New York to take on cross-state rival Colgate University on Saturday, September 8th.

Colgate’s side, which went 13-0 only to lose in the national tournament last spring, suffered a loss to other Ivy, Yale University 28-0 the week previous. The ensuing match was one to be remembered.
