Thirteen different Raiders scored to lead the Colgate men\u2019s basketball team to a big 103-52 win over Pitt-Bradford in the Raiders\u2019 non-league finale at Cotterell Court Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The 51-point win marked Colgate\u2019s largest margin of victory since a 97-46 win over St. Lawrence in the 1946-47 season.

Six points from Rayman helped Colgate to a quick 10-0 lead as the Raiders kept the Panthers scoreless through the first five-plus minutes of the game. Pitt-Bradford made its first basket at the\u00a014:30<\/span><\/span>\u00a0mark and was within nine at 17-8\u00a0two minutes later<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Raiders rattled off a 14-2 run over the next five minutes to pull ahead 31-10 following a Rayman layup at the\u00a07:44<\/span><\/span>\u00a0mark. A 5-0 streak would be Pitt-Bradford\u2019s largest of the half before Colgate scored the term\u2019s final nine points to carry a 49-20 advantage into the locker room.<\/p>\n

Dunks from junior Dana Batt and senior Jordan Swopshire helped Colgate stretch its lead to 32 at 59-27 in the opening minutes of the second half. Scoring was even through the first eight minutes of the term until a three-pointer from senior Jordan Robertson sparked a 10-0 Colgate streak that put the Raider lead at 71-33 with\u00a011:26<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to play.<\/p>\n

Ferguson scored nine-straight Colgate points to put the score at 80-37\u00a0two minutes later<\/span><\/span>. The Raiders wouldn\u2019t let the Panthers get closer than 40 the rest of the way as Colgate cruised to the 103-52 win.<\/p>\n
