QUOTE
"This is the way that this group of seniors was supposed to go out on Cooper Field. They got here four years ago and they have really helped create and build a strong foundation for this program. I'm so happy to have them earn this Patriot League victory and I am looking forward to this week coming up in Boston. We haven't played in Fenway since the 1940s and this is the exact group that I want to go up there with and play a good Holy Cross team in front of the Hoya Football family." -
