    Temple assistant Matt Langel was hired Monday as the new coach of the Colgate Raiders.

    Langel spent the past five seasons as an assistant under Fran Dunphy, who has led the Owls to four straight NCAA tournament appearances.

    "I'm thrilled for Matt," Dunphy said. "Colgate gets a person with great character who is very wise and can be a mentor to all of his student-athletes."

    Langel, 32, succeeds Emmett Davis, who was released from his contract in mid-March after finishing the season 7-23 overall and 4-10 in the Patriot League.

    The 51-year-old Davis, who replaced the late Jack Bruen in 1998, was 165-212 in 13 seasons. Davis led the Raiders to the Patriot League Championship game in 2008, tying a school record for wins in a season with 18 in 2007-08.
