In its fourth season under head coach Dick Biddle, the team compiled a 10–2 record. Tom McCarroll and Ryan Vena were the team captains.[1]
The Red Raiders outscored opponents 430 to 253. Colgate's 5–1 record earned a tie for the Patriot League championship.[2]
Unranked in the preseason Division I-AA national poll, the Red Raiders briefly appeared at No. 24 early in the season, then returned to the top 25 in mid-November. Colgate ended the year ranked No. 18 and qualified for the Division I-AA playoffs by winning its conference, even though it was the lower-ranked of the two Patriot League co-champions; Lehigh also qualified, however, with an at-large berth. Both Patriot League playoff teams lost in the first round.
Colgate played its home games at Andy Kerr Stadium in Hamilton, New York.
