Colgate edges past Holy Cross 20-17

HAMILTON, N.Y. -- Jake Melville capped a 14-play, 83-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and Colgate edged past Holy Cross 20-17 on Saturday. The Raiders (3-2, 2-0 Patriot) were trailing by 10 in the second quarter, but a 14-yard touchdown pass from Melville to Alex Greenawalt with four seconds left before the half cut the difference to 17-13. Neither team scored until Melville's touchdown run with 11:21 to go gave Colgate its first lead of the day. The Crusaders (2-4, 0-2) tried to respond on their next possession and drove 51 yards down the field in 10 plays. On third and 5 at the Colgate 22, Peter Pujals threw an interception -- caught by Mike Armiento -- to give Colgate the ball back with 7:35 to play. The Raiders didn't give Holy Cross another chance and kept possession of the ball for the remainder of the game.
