Holy Cross Crusaders Dominate Colgate Raiders in First Football Game at Polar Park
The Holy Cross Crusaders made history on a memorable day, as they defeated the Colgate Raiders with a commanding 38-7 score in their first ever football game at Polar Park. The victory, which marked the Crusaders' fifth win of the season, solidified their position atop the Patriot League.
The game, which took place during the College of the Holy Cross Family Weekend festivities, was a thrilling display of football, with the Crusaders showcasing their grit and winning mentality. Wide receiver Max Mosey scored a 1-yard touchdown run in the final frame, adding to the Crusaders' impressive offensive performance.
Quarterback Joe Pesansky and wide receiver Justin Shorter connected on four touchdowns during the game, demonstrating the Crusaders' potent passing game. The Crusaders' defense also stood tall, limiting the Raiders to just seven points.
The win against Colgate follows a string of victories for the Crusaders, who have now won their last four games. This impressive run has propelled Holy Cross to the top of the Patriot League standings, where they currently hold a 5-1 conference record.
The Crusaders' success is not surprising given their historical dominance in the league. They shared the Patriot League title with Lehigh in 2024, and have a rich history of multiple consecutive shared or outright titles. The team is led by second-year head coach Dan Curran, who recorded his first win at Fitton Field with this victory.
Looking ahead, the Crusaders are set to face a challenging schedule, including road games against Lehigh and Richmond. They will open their season on August 30, 2025, against Northern Illinois.
