Holy Cross Wins Seventh Straight Ram-Crusader Cup Under Joe Pesansky's Guidance
The Holy Cross football team is preparing for their upcoming game against Fordham in the annual Ram-Crusader cup, following a tough loss to Harvard in their previous outing. The Crusaders will be looking to bounce back from their defeat against Rhode Island and regain their form, having recently clinched a win against Lafayette, improving to 3-0 in Patriot League play.
In their last encounter with Fordham, the Crusaders emerged victorious in a thrilling game at Fitton Field. The winning touchdown pass was thrown by quarterback Cameron Henderson, while Byron Shipman scored on a crucial fourth and goal to give the Crusaders the lead. Jordan Fuller also added to the scoring tally with a rushing touchdown.
However, the Crusaders will face a challenge this time around as they will be without star quarterback Matthew Sluka. Junior backup quarterback Joe Pesansky is expected to step up in his absence.
The game against Lafayette was declared the biggest game of the season by senior captain Christo Kelly, and it certainly lived up to the hype. The teams put on a high-scoring spectacle, with a total of 14 combined touchdowns. The Crusaders led, 14-13, after the first quarter, but a missed extra point by Fordham kept the score close.
Dan Curran, the first-year head football coach for Holy Cross, will be hoping to guide his team to another victory in this much-anticipated matchup. The game against Fordham is set to be a crucial test for the Crusaders, who currently stand atop the Patriot League.
