WORCESTER, Mass. - Two goals late in the match were enough as the Raiders fell 2-1 to Holy Cross at Linda Johnson Smith Soccer Stadium on Wednesday night.

  • With three minutes to go, a Crusaders cross was ricocheted into the Colgate net off its own defender.
  • One minute later Holy Cross took a 2-1 lead and held on to it for the final stretch.
NOTES

  • Ella Poppinga made eight saves in net.
