Herald-Record
Army baseball coach Joe Sottolano quickly dismissed the idea that
the pressure falls squarely on his team Monday in the championship
game of the Patriot League tournament. The Black Knights won their
first 17 league games during the regular season. They finished 18-2
in the Patriot and took a 39-12 record into Sunday's doubleheader
against Holy Cross, Games 1 and 2 of the best-of-three series for
the tourney title. . .

dream

News-Sun
The NFL dream never died for Aaron Jones. Two years ago, the 2006
South High School graduate tried out for the New Orleans Saints
after a stellar career on the offensive line at College of the Holy
Cross. A year ago, he didn’t get any opportunities, in part
because of the lengthy NFL lockout. Then last weekend his quest
continued as Jones took part in a rookie minicamp with the Carolina
Panthers. . .

Watertown's Mike McCabe described his introduction to the National
Football League with the Green Bay Packers the past week "as
mayhem, absolutely. The minicamp was information overload." Still,
the 23-year-old former Taft and College of Holy Cross graduate has
adjusted well since arriving last week in Green Bay as one of 14
rookie free agents. . .

Koneski in the opener of its best-of-three Patriot League

Journal
Paul Pearl and his Holy Cross hockey staff have a little building
to do on the back end. The Crusaders led Atlantic Hockey in scoring
by the slimmest of margins — 3.08 goals a game to the 3.05 of
Air Force — and five of the top eight Crusader scorers
return, paced by Adam Schmidt (18-19-37) and Erik Vos (15-18-33) at
the top of the list. . .
Vos earns the 'C' at Holy Cross
May 1, 2012 * By Chris Funston * Flamborough Review
Carlisle’s Erik Vos has been named captain of the
Holy Cross Crusaders men’s hockey team. “It’s a
huge honour,” says Vos, “It’s been a short three
years when you look back at it, but the fact that I’ve
garnered the respect of both my coaches and my fellow teammates is
a huge feeing for me.” Vos, an economics and accounting
major, was awarded the ‘C’ by a vote by both players
and coaches. . .
