The sociology and anthropology major is back as Colgate’s top returning scorer after 31 points in 2013 on 30 goals and an assist. She does a lot of her work in the middle of the field with 37 draw controls and 16 ground balls. Overall she has 58 career ground balls and 78 draw controls.
White is another New York native and came to Colgate from Deer Park. She has 51 points in 45 career games with the Raiders. Last season, she scored 16 goals and had one assist in an injury-shortened year as she played in only 12 games. She is a threat on draw controls and is normally the player taking them in the middle. She has grabbed 70 career draws and has 23 ground balls. The history major is a helpful part of the offense that is returning.
Colgate starts the season on Feb. 15 at Vermont, but has yet to release its full schedule and will announce it in the coming weeks.
