History
Since joining the Patriot League in 1991 as a founding program, the Raiders have had some moderate success. The team has won two regular season championships, doing so in 1999 in a three way tie, and also in 2011 outright. The program has won the Patriot League Tournament three times, doing so in 1999, 2003, and 2007. By winning the tournament, the team advanced to the NCAA Division I softball tournament.

Despite qualifying for the 1999, 2003, and 2007 tournaments, Colgate failed to win a single game in each of them.

Colgate has won several awards during their time in the Patriot League. The program has won four PL Player of the Year awards, winning in 1998 with Melissa Mack, 2003 with Melissa Rawson, 2004 with Dorothy Donaldson, and 2006 with LaPorscha Albert. The team has also won three PL Coach of the Year awards, winning them in 2003, 2007, and 2009 with Vickie Sax.

Marissa Lamison-Myers was hired as the program's head coach in July 2017.
