They finished fourth place in the conference which was the best finish ever, and they were the first team to host a postseason game in the history of athletics at Holy Cross.  They also won their first ever postseason win in the CCAC Tournament by beating Trinity Christian 78-76 in overtime. 

Junior Yama Kader (Mission Viejo, CA), and Senior Taylor Williams (South Bend, IN) earned First Team All CCAC Division II. Kader finished in the top ten in three statistical categories of the CCAC.

This is Kader's first honor from the CCAC, and Williams earned Second Team All CCAC last year.

"I can't put into words how proud I am of the boys this year.  This truly was a fantastic year for the boys.  After only winning four games the previous year, and to win fourteen and a tournament game speaks volumes to the amount of work they put in to get the results they did this season," said Head Coach Bob Schermerhorn.

(Notre Dame, IN)  The Holy Cross Women's Basketball Team enjoyed their best season ever under new Head Coach Aimee Litka this year.

The team recorded it's most wins ever as a program with ten.  They also were the first team to ever win a postseason conference tournament game in the history of Holy Cross Athleticis beating Judson 72-65 at Judson.

Two players were named to the First Team All Chicagoland Athletic Conference.  Junior Lauren Malinowski (Dearborn Heights, MI) and Lindsey Steffen (Nappanee, IN) were the honorees.

Malinowski earned CCAC Division II Second Team last year. This is the second time Steffen earned first team honors, and she was the CCAC Newcomer of the Year last year.

"I am very proud of the way our team performed all year.  It was a tough transition for them at the beginning, but once they got things under way they really worked hard to get to where they got throughout the season.  We are very excited about next season as we do not lose a single player, and we are excited about the players we are bringing in next year,"  said Head Coach Aimee Litka.

(Notre Dame, Ind.) The Holy Cross Men's Lacrosse team captured their third straight division championship and fourth straight automatic bid to the Great Lakes Lacrosse League National Championships with a pair of victories over the weekend.

In dominating fashion, the Saints rolled past the Spartans of Michigan State with a 13 - 3 victory securing their third straight division title and first in the newly formed East Division. Holy Cross previously competed in the South Division winning it in 2010 and 2011.

"I thought we did an excellent job of executing our game plan against Michigan State," said Head Coach Michael Hodge. "We controlled the tempo of the game and played an all around good game."

Game two proved to be more challenging for the Saints against the University of Michigan. Holy Cross jumped out to a quick two goal lead, but the Wolverines battled back and tied the game at 2 before the end of the first quarter.

After trading goals in the second quarter the game was knotted up at 4. Michigan took an early 5 - 4 lead in the third, but the Saints battled back and secured their eighth victory of the season 10 - 8.

This was the second time in a week the Saints beat the Wolverines. Holy Cross won 9 - 3 last weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

"In game two we struggled to keep the ball out of our defensive end," said Coach Hodge. "However, we were able to get a goal when we needed it most and closed out the game."

The weekend sweep marked the second time in program history that Holy Cross finished the regular season with a perfect record. The last time was in 2010 when they won the GLLL National Championship.

The 2012 season marks the first time in program history that Holy Cross started and finished the year ranked 1^st in the Great Lakes Lacrosse League polls. The official poll is kept through laxpower.com and rated on the team's power ranking. The Saints finished with a 76.90 power ranking. For a complete explanation on the formula used click HERE.

(Notre Dame, IN)  The Holy Cross Baseball Team took on the Trolls of Trinity Christian in a CCAC series that saw the Saints play one game at home, and the other two at Trinity Christian.

The first game was was one that the Saints needed to forget as soon as it ended as they lost 27-2 at Kennedy Park.  It was one of those games where nothing seemed to go right for the Saints, and the bats of the Trolls seemed to hit the ball consistently where the Holy Cross defense was not.

In the double header the following day the Saints did much to improve from the previous day's outcome.  They lost the first game 6-4 after tying it up at 3-3 in the top of the fourth inning.  The Trolls responded, however, by scoring three runs in the bottom half of the inning to make it 6-3.  The Saints scored one more run, but ended up falling short in the comeback attempt.

In the second game of the double header the Saints were down 5-0 heading in the final inning.  They were able to put two runs in their final inning behind the plate, but that was all they were able to muster as they lost 5-2.

In game one, the Saints were within stricking distance as it was only 4-0 entering the fifth inning.  The Cougars, however, mounted a five run fifth inning to seize the momentum in the game, and beat the Saints 10-2.

Sophomore Ben Bournay (St. Joseph, Michigan) led the Saints going 1 for 3 with 2 runs batted in for the game.  Freshman Trevor Hurley (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) had a nice game for the Saints going 2 for 3 on the day at the plate.

Sophomore Michael Pizzuto (Sarasota, Florida) led the Saints at the plate going 3 for 4 and scoring two runs in the game.  Hurley went 1 for 3, and batted in three of the four runs for the Saints in the second game. 

Sophomore Steve Bunnell (Carlsbad, CA) got the loss in the second game.  He allowed four hits and eight earned runs in 1.2 innings pitched.

Freshman Pat Gullickson (Chanhassen, Minnesota) started out the game pitching very well for the Saints as it was 2-1 in favor of the Cougars through four innings of the play.  A three run fifth inning proved to be the dagger for the Saints as they lost 9-1 in the Sunday home matchup with Saint Xavier.

Sophomore Jackson Hallahan (Silver Lake, Minnesota) went one for three on the day, and Bunnell went one for four as the Saints were limited to just six hits all afternoon.

Box Score Game One   

(Notre Dame, IN)  The Holy Cross Baseball Team went on the road to take on the Panthers of Purdue North Central over the weekend.

The first game was a nail biting pitcher's duel as the Saints dropped a close one 2-1 after beating the Panthers the previous day at Coveleski Stadium.  The second game of the double-header proved to be a bit more challenging as Holy Cross dropped game two 17-8 to the host Panthers. 

Sophomore Steve Bunnell (Carlsbad, CA) pitched a solid first game pitching 6 innings allowing five hits, three walks, and two earned runs.  Unfortunately, the Saints could not muster up anymore run support as they only posted one run in the loss for Bunnell.

Freshman Gio Ayala (Miami, FL) went 2-3 in the game, and had the Saints only RBI.  The Saints were plagued all game by leaving people on base as they had 11 hits, but still only scored one run. 

In game two the Saints had bad innings in the fourth and fifth inning that was just too much to overcome down the stretch in the 17-8 loss to the host Panthers.  Freshman Michael Pizzuto (Sarasota, FL) went 3-4 in the game with three runs batted in.  Sophomore Ben Bournay (St. Joseph, MI) had a solid game for the Saints going 2-4 with 2 runs batted in on the day.

The Saints are now 3-13 and 1-2 in the CCAC.  Their next game is at home tomorrow against Illinois Tech at Coveleski Stadium.  The game is double-header and the first pitch for game one is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
