Colgate at Cornell

ITHACA, N.Y. (Interstat) — The undefeated Colgate Raiders will put their perfect record on the line Tuesday when they visit the Cornell Big Red in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup at Newman Arena.

Colgate (3-0) is off to its best start in recent years, coming off a high-scoring 89-79 victory over New Hampshire on Nov. 10. Ella Meabon led the Raiders with a dominant 35-point performance in that win.

Cornell (2-2) has found its footing after a season-opening loss, securing back-to-back road wins against Mercyhurst and Canisius. In Sunday’s 62-50 victory over Canisius, Rachel Kaus paced the Big Red with 18 points.

The Raiders have relied on a potent offense, averaging over 69 points per game in their first three contests. The Big Red, meanwhile, have leaned on a defense that has held its last two opponents under 55 points.

Tuesday’s game will be the final home contest for Cornell before a four-game road trip. Colgate will look to maintain its momentum before facing Quinnipiac on the road Sunday.
