The Colby College Football Team did not get the result that they were looking for when they traveled to Hartford, CT last Saturday to take on the Trinity College Bantams.

The Colby Football Team is in the midst of preparing for another successful season on Mayflower Hill. After last year’s season, which saw the squad go 4-4 despite great offensive capability that led to an over 25-point score differential, the Mules are looking to improve and contend for the NESCAC title.
