About Albany
The Great Danes are 0-3-1 on the season, mustering just two goals in those matches.

Shafique Wilson has played three of the four matches in net for the Purple and Gold, recording a season-high five saves against Marist.
The Series with Colgate
The teams have met just twice, once in 1974 (a 3-1 Penn win), and once last September, when Penn won 3-0 behind a shutout from goalkeeper
Nick Christoffersen and a three-point performance from
Ben Stitz.
About Colgate
The Raiders enter the weekend 3-0-1, coming off back-to-back shutouts against Binghamton and Fairfield, allowing just seven shots on goal in those matches. Max Edelstein, Aidan Davock, and Timmy Donovan have all scored two goals, accounting for all of Colgate's offensive output.
