ESPN RECAP

Daniel Porto field goal lifts Holy Cross to dramatic 40-38 win over Bucknell

WORCESTER, Mass. -- , Holy Cross scored on a blocked punt and an interception return, and Daniel Porto kicked the go-ahead field goal with 59 seconds left to lift Holy Cross to a wild 40-38 victory over Bucknell on Saturday. The Crusaders remain alive to win or share the Patriot League championship for the sixth consecutive year. Holy Cross (5-6, 4-1) shares first place with Lehigh, which defeated Colgate 45-17 on Saturday. Holy Cross finishes at Georgetown and Lehigh hosts Lafayette in season finales next week. Ralph Rucker IV threw three touchdown passes in the first half and Bucknell (5-6, 3-2) led by as much as 21-3. Jayden Clerveaux 's short touchdown run for Holy Cross made it 21-10 at halftime and Joe Pesansky 's 35-yard pass to Max Mosey on the second play of the third quarter got the Crusaders within 21-17.
