The Holy Cross football team lost their fourth straight game on Saturday afternoon as they were shutout by Yale 32-0 in Connecticut.
The Crusaders were shut out for the first time since 2004, when they lost to Harvard 35-0.
"Pretty obvious that Yale is a good football team and we knew that coming in. I made a statement at the beginning of the week and it held out to be true. This might be the best Yale team i’ve seen since 1982," said head coach Tom Gilmore after the game.
Holy Cross drops to 2-5 on the season.

Yale running back Zane Dudek then broke a 21-yard touchdown run to make the score 17-0 halfway through the second quarter.
In the final two minutes of the first half, Yale added a safety and a 33-yard touchdown pass from Rawlings to Siragusa to take a 25-0 lead into the break. T
Yale closed the game with a 22-yard scoring run by Dudek in the third quarter.
