WORCESTER, Mass. – Junior forward Dylan Scanley and freshman forward Jon Klein both tallied a goal and an assist as the Holy Cross men's soccer team posted a 3-1 victory over Colgate at Linda Johnson Smith Stadium. The Crusaders improve to 6-2-2 overall and 3-0-0 in the Patriot League with the win, while the Raiders fall to 0-9-0 on the year and 0-3-0 in the conference.

Holy Cross opened the scoring in the second minute of play, when Scanley played the ball to freshman forward Evan Jones in the top of the box, where he booted it past the goalkeeper from 12 yards out in the left center.
