The Holy Cross Crussaders plays for the Patriot League in the NCAA Division I-AA.
For many years, the football team had an intense rivalry with Boston College, which was discontinued due to B.C.'s expansion of its football program to Division I-A status.
The Crussaders were very successful when the Patriot League started, winning 5 of the first 6 conference championships of the League, but since 1991 they haven't been able to conquer another title. |
