  Washington, DC (Sports Network) - The football game between the Colgate Raiders and Georgetown Hoyas scheduled for Saturday 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 medicalpersonnel atboth universitiesand withColgate'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 conference foe Hoyas are 1-3 with an 0-2 mark in league play. The Raiders will take the field next on October 11 when they host Princeton, while the Hoyas are scheduled to host Pennsylvania on the same day.
