Saturday football game against Georgetown cancelled

Back to All Stories

The football game between Colgate and Georgetown scheduled for Saturday at Colgate has been cancelled.
Due to an outbreak of norovirus on the Georgetown campus, the contest will not be played.


“Because several members of the team have been infected and others have been exposed, and because the infection is contagious, after discussion between medical personnel at both universities and with Colgate’s athletic administration and the Patriot League, the decision has been made not to play the game,” said Georgetown director of athletics Bernard Muir. “A make-up date has not been reached at this time,”
Colgate is 3-2 this season (1-0 Patriot), while the Hoyas are 1-3 with an 0-2 mark in league play. The Raiders will take the field next on Oct. 11 when they host Princeton, while the Hoyas are scheduled to host Pennsylvania on the same day.
