Narrative:
On right downwind for runway 13 a piper seneca that had departed after us flew about 100 ft over us. We noticed the traffic at the last second and pitched down to avoid a collision. The piper had turned early from the upwind leg during their departure to the south and that put them on a collision course with our aircraft flying downwind. We did not receive any traffic alerts from tower. When I asked tower why we didn't receive any alert he said that the radar track showed them passing behind us.
