GAME #1 HOLY CROSS 27, MONMOUTH 19 September 5, 2015 • West Long Branch, N.J. Holy Cross forced four turnovers on the day, as the Crusaders posted a 27- 19 victory over Monmouth at Kessler Stadium. Luke Ford led the Crusader defense with six tackles, an interception, a pass breakup and a tackle for loss. Alim Muhammad added five tackles and an interception on the afternoon. On the offensive side of the ball, Peter Pujals hit on 16 of 26 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown, in addition to rushing 10 times for 38 yards and a score. On Holy Cross’ opening drive of the game, Diquan Walker had a one-yard touchdown run to make the score 7-0. After Monmouth’s Dan White kicked a 38-yard field goal, the Crusaders took a 14-3 lead on a 15-yard touchdown run by Pujals. Early in the second quarter, Dewayne Cameron recovered a fumble on Hawks’ five-yard line, setting up a 10-yard scoring strike from Pujals to Brendan Flaherty. But just before halftime, Mommouth made the score 21-9 on an 81-yard touchdown pass from Cody Williams to Darren Ambush. After neither team was able to score in the third quarter, the Hawks cut the margin to 21-16 on a two-yard scoring run by Lavon Chaney. But on Monmouth’s next possession, J.T. Frank forced Chaney to fumble, and Jack Kutschke recovered on the Hawks’ 12-yard line. Connor Fitzgerald then hit a 22-yard field goal to put Holy Cross up 24-16. An interception by Muhammad would give the Crusaders the ball back five plays later, and a 40-yard Fitzgerald field goal made the score 27-16 with 5:11 remaining. Monmouth was able to trim the margin to 27- 19 on a 27-yard White field goal with 1:18 remaining, and recovered the ensuing onside kick to stay in the game. But Ford intercepted a pass in the end zone with 14 seconds left to seal the win for Holy Cross.
