In Saturday’s season opener for both institutions, Jordan Fuller dominated the field with four touchdowns in the second half, enabling Holy Cross to overcome a three-point deficit at halftime and secure a 42-20 triumph against Merrimack.

Commencing the season with a No. 5 rank according to the FCS Coaches Poll, Holy Cross was already in a favorable position, having clinched their fourth successive Patriot League championship in 2022, boasting a record 12 wins for the program.

The team’s quarterback, Matthew Sluka, and wide receiver, Jalen Coker—both seniors and preseason All-Americans—collaborated for Holy Cross’s first touchdown, achieving a 29-yard connection late in the opening quarter. A subsequent touchdown early in the second quarter saw Sluka connect with Fuller from the 14-yard line, though the Crusaders entered the halftime break trailing 17-14.
