COLGATE RAIDERS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Patriot LeagueD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Colgate University's women's basketball program competes in the Patriot League from its home at Cotterell Court in Hamilton, New York, representing an institution founded in 1819. Coach Shannon Bush leads a 15-player roster through a challenging 2024-25 season marked by a 6-19 overall record and 2-8 conference performance. The Raiders have struggled with a significant home-court disadvantage, posting a 4-8 mark at Cotterell Court while managing just a 2-11 record on the road, indicating difficulties in establishing winning consistency across both venues.

Offensive execution has been a primary concern, with Colgate averaging 52.6 points per game while surrendering 63.6 to opponents—an 11-point deficit that underscores defensive breakdowns and scoring inefficiency. The 2-8 conference record places the program near the bottom of Patriot League standings, reflecting competitive gaps against regional opponents. Bush's squad faces the remainder of the season with opportunities to develop younger players and establish a foundation for future improvement, though current metrics suggest substantial work remains to elevate performance and compete effectively within the league's structure.
