As a Colgate alumni, I can certainly testify that Colgate only offers NEED
based aid.
As Don Vaughn stated, he needed forwards, so financial assistance aided
him with his problem.
We will see how those seven defensemen cope with Brian Tapper and the
suddenly potent RPI offense this weekend at Houston.  Actually I think
this is a perfect opportunity for the Red Raiders to steal two points.
The stingy Engineer defense will have an early season test against the Red
Raiders' surfeit of scorers.  Should be a very entertaining weekend.
