HAMILTON, N.Y. - With a go-ahead goal in the final minutes, Colgate dashed the hopes of a draw or win for American University women's soccer in a Patriot League road match. The Eagles got an equalizer from senior
Morissa Lambert in the 70th minute, but AU lost 2-1 after the 88th-minute goal for the Raiders.
