Junior safety Braden Haas has been named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference on Monday, Nov. 9. 

Haas helped secure Holy Cross' 27-24 come-from-behind victory over Georgetown on Saturday, Nov. 7. 

After the Crusaders scored a go-ahead touchdown to lead 27-24 with 27 seconds left in regulation — Holy Cross' first lead of the day — Haas intercepted a Hoya pass with 22 seconds on the clock to seal the victory. 

Haas also chipped in seven tackles on the day, including five solo stops, and had a pass breakup. He was part of a defensive effort that held Georgetown scoreless in the second half.

The interception was Haas' second of the year; he is the only Crusader with multiple interceptions on the season. 

The 27-24 win vs. Georgetown marked Holy Cross' fifth consecutive win in league play, their third straight win overall and their fifth win in the last six contests. 

Holy Cross returns home for the final two games of the regular season and will host Villanova on Saturday, Nov. 14 at Fitton Field. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m., and tickets can be purchased by visiting goholycross.com/fbtix or calling 1-844-GO-CROSS.
