Holy Cross at Dartmouth, Saturday, October 18th, 1:30pm

After a tough loss at Brown last weekend the Holy Cross Crusaders (2-5, 0-2) continue their road trip in Dartmouth where they take on the Dartmouth Big Green (3-1, 2-0) at Memorial Field. Holy Cross comes into this game looking to get back in the win column and snap a four game losing streak against one of the best teams in the Ivy League. In order to do that sophomore quarterback Peter Pujals must continue his good play and wide receiver Jake Wieczorek will need to add to his team leading 37 catches for 570 yards.

The Big Green come in on a two game winning streak and are led by junior quarterback Dalyn Williams who has completed 71 passes for 819 yards and eight touchdowns on the season. Other key players for Dartmouth include receiver Ryan McManus who leads the team with 24 catches for 365 yards and two touchdowns and running back Kyle Bramble who has rushed for 271 yards on the season.
