THE MISSION STATEMENT
Department of Athletics • College of the Holy Cross
The Mission of the Athletic Department of the College of the Holy Cross is to promote
the intellectual, physical, and moral development of students. Through Division I athletic
participation, our young men and women student-athletes learn a self-discipline that has both
present and long-term effects; the interplay of individual and team effort; pride and self-esteem
in both victory and defeat; a skillful management of time; personal endurance and courage; and
the complex relationships between friendship, leadership, and service. Our athletics program,
in the words of the College Mission Statement, calls for “a community marked by freedom,
mutual respect, and civility.”
Besides teaching these virtues, a few sports played at Holy Cross have the added value
of focusing alumni and student support and enhancing our reputation locally and nationally.
While Holy Cross continues to commit itself to accomplishment in these sports, which are
a rich part of our tradition, we choose to do so in a way that complements the pursuit of
academic excellence.
Holy Cross is committed to the guiding principles of the Patriot League, of which we are a
founding member: presidential control of athletics; the cultivation of the ideal scholar-athlete;
and participation in a wide variety of sports. Commitment to the last principle assures that
the College sponsors, in a very evident way, gender equity.
The department of athletics is also committed to compliance with all College policies and
regulations involved in Division I membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association
and the Eastern College Athletic Conference. As a member of the NCAA, Holy Cross also
advocates student-athlete welfare, diversity, gender equity, sportsmanship, and ethical conduct
in its athletic programs.

RECRUITING
CORRESPONDENCE
It is important for prospective student-athletes to get in touch with
Head Coach Bob Neville as soon as possible. A simple letter of
inquiry into the softball program will initiate the recruiting process.
The spring of your junior year or early senior year is the most
appropriate time to contact Coach Bob Neville.

Students are strongly encouraged to have admissions interviews.
The office offers interviews from the summer until January 15.
Alumni interviews in most metropolitan areas are available.
Students must first submit an application and indicate they would
like an alumni interview before December 31.

1998 CHAMPIONSHIP
In his first year as Head Coach of the Crusaders, Bob Neville took
the Holy Cross program to new heights, winning a conference
title and earning a spot as one of the top teams in the Northeast
region.
After finishing with a 15-21-1 mark in 1997, the team looked to
Neville to guide them to new heights. They opened with a spring
trip to Florida, going 5-4-1. One thing Neville knew for certain
was that he inherited a strong, experienced pitching staff with
Sarah Heywood and two-time Patriot League All-Star Genoa
Grosch. The Crusaders were predicted to finish fifth out of six
teams in the Patriot League after a fourth-place finish in 1997.
The Crusaders made a
strong statement as they
traveled
to
Bucknell
and took three of four
games from the League’s
preseason favorite, en route
to an impressive 7-1 start
in league play, along with
a 12-9-1 overall mark.
Colgate pulled out a 3-1 victory in the first game, behind the
pitching of Tara McGoff. In the second game, with Grosch in the
circle for the Crusaders and the help of the bat and base running
by Jamie Olenoski and Alexis Lyon, Holy Cross topped Colgate,
7-1, to collect the win. Grosch pitched a one-hitter on the way to
Holy Cross’ first-ever regular-season title.
Holy Cross carried a 27-16-1 mark into the Patriot League
Tournament. In the first game of the double-elimination tournament,
the Crusaders faced McGoff and the Raiders once again. Colgate
came out on top, 3-2, in 10 innings, sending the Crusaders to the
losers’ bracket. Holy Cross then defeated Bucknell, 1-0, followed
by a victory over Colgate,
7-1.
The Crusaders needed
to sweep a pair from
Lehigh,
four-time
defending champions, in
order to prevail as league
champions. Holy Cross
went on to defeat Lehigh,
7-1 and 4-3, leading the
team to the tournament
title. Grosch was named
Patriot League MVP.
The next big challenge
for the Crusaders came in

ABOUT HOLY CROSS
Holy Cross is renowned for its academic excellence and
mentoring-based, liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. An
exclusively undergraduate institution with just over 2,700 students,
Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England. Founded
in 1843 in Worcester, Massachusetts, the campus occupies 174 beautifully landscaped acres, featuring traditional and contemporary architecture, state-of-the-art facilities, and striking views from atop
Mount St. James.
Academic life at Holy Cross is serious, challenging, and exciting. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in
countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy
Cross. With a student-faculty ratio of 11:1, the opportunity for
individual attention is readily available. Few classes exceed an enrollment of 40, and most average 19.
Holy Cross professors are widely respected in their academic
specialties. Many have national reputations for their research and
publications, creative performances, recordings, and exhibitions.
Almost all of the nearly 280 full- and part-time faculty members hold
doctoral degrees from some of the finest universities here and abroad.
Among the major academic facilities on campus are Dinand
Library (which, along with three other specialized libraries on campus, has total holdings of 601,730 volumes); Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery (with a regular schedule of world-class exhibitions);
Brooks Concert Hall (acclaimed by performers and acoustical experts as one of the finest medium-sized performance spaces in the
region); St. Joseph Memorial Chapel (built in 1924 and containing
the recently renovated McCooey Chapel on the lower level); Hogan
Campus Center (with bookstore, post office, coffee lounge, cafeteria, and pub); Carol and Park B. Smith Hall (housing the Center for
Religion, Ethics and Culture and the Rehm Library); the Multimedia
Resource Center in Edith Stein Hall; and the science complex in
Haberlin, O’Neil and Swords Halls.
Coeducational since 1972, Holy Cross enrolls a student body
of proven accomplishment. Almost all graduated in the top 20 percent of their high school classes. Most live in 10 residence halls on
campus, all fully connected to the College’s computer network. Students, elected by their peers, represent their classmates at faculty
meetings, on major College committees, and in a consultative capac-

rink, and the Hart Recreation Center, home to the basketball, swimming, hockey, and volleyball teams. The Smith Wellness Center
includes a specialized strength and conditioning facility for varsity
student-athletes, as well as aerobic equipment and workout areas
for the general student body.
The College offers focused preprofessional advising programs
for students interested in medicine and health, law, business, and
engineering. The results for successful postgraduate study are
well-documented:
· Graduates are admitted to medical school at rates better than twice
the national average;
· Each year, more than 100 Holy Cross graduates enter law schools
accredited by the American Bar Association – one of the highest
rates in the nation;
· Holy Cross is in the top 3% of four-year colleges in the number of
students going on to earn doctorates;
· Holy Cross students have won Rhodes, Truman and Marshall
scholarships, Watson fellowships, Fulbright grants and many other
awards;
· More than 10 percent of Holy Cross alumni are currently practicing
medicine.
Among the many Holy Cross alumni with stellar records of
achievement are a Nobel Laureate; three Pulitzer Prize winners; two
members of the National Basketball Hall of Fame; a U.S. Supreme
Court justice; a U.S. Poet Laureate; numerous members of the U.S.
Congress; hundreds of journalists, authors, and media commentators; and countless CEOs, educators, and business and community
leaders.
ity on the appointment and promotion of faculty. There are more
than 100 co-curricular offerings on campus and diverse opportunities for innovative academic options such as the First-Year Program,
community-based learning, Washington Semester, internships, and
full-year study abroad.
Holy Cross integrates faith and knowledge with an emphasis
on service, in keeping with the Jesuits’ commitment to educate “men
and women for others.” A distinguishing and all-important characteristic of education at Holy Cross is the emphasis placed upon the
service of faith and the promotion of justice. The Office of the College Chaplains advises Student Programs for Urban Development
(SPUD), which is the largest student organization on campus. More
than 450 students are involved in 37 direct-service programs in
Worcester.
The athletics program has a storied tradition that continues
today with 27 varsity sports and charter membership in the Patriot
League, recognized for its development of scholar-athletes. The
College sponsors many clubs and intramural sports programs, and
has excellent athletics facilities, including a football stadium, hockey

UNIQUE PROGRAMS
FIRST-YEAR PROGRAM
The innovative First-Year Program brings together 160 first-year
students and a group of distinguished teachers from different disciplines to discover and embrace these connections in a living-andlearning community. Through co-curricular seminars, readings, talks,
retreats and excursions, participants explore enduring intellectual
and ethical questions. The program’s activities are as varied as climbing Mt. Monadnock, questioning a panel of distinguished journalists about media ethics, and hearing Branford Marsalis perform. In
addition, First-Year Program students reside together in Hanselman
Hall to enhance opportunities for community bonding and building.
COLLEGE HONORS
In the College Honors Program, academically accomplished students
pursue multidisciplinary studies in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Guided by rotating faculty experts, students
regularly meet and work to explore how knowledge from different areas
can be tested and integrated across disciplines. The program incorporates an honors colloquium – a series of interdisciplinary discussions
– and a thesis. Honors students publicly present their findings at the
annual academic conference, a highlight of the academic year.

students complete an independent study project in the local community to ensure close interaction with the people of their chosen
countries.

Worcester Area. In keeping with the College’s social mission to
prepare students to be “men and women for others,” CommunityBased Learning enables students to be of service to the community
while enhancing their understanding of course material.

WORCESTER
Worcester, the economic and social center of central Massachusetts, is New England’s third-largest city with a population of
170,000. Holy Cross is one of the area’s 13 colleges and universities,
which together make an enormous impact on the area’s culture and
economy. Boston, Springfield, Hartford, and Providence are all
about a one-hour drive. New York City is less than four hours away;
Cape Cod and the Atlantic Ocean are less then two hours from
Worcester; and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire can
be reached in about three hours. Skiing is available at nearby
Wachusett Mountain, and water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the
hundreds of rivers and lakes in the area, including Lake
Quinsigamond.
Primarily an industrial city through the mid-twentieth century,
Worcester has emerged as an educational, medical, health care, cultural and entertainment center. An expanded business and commercial base, and the recent addition of a variety of high-technology
companies and growing biotechnology research parks, have made
Worcester attractive to expanding companies. Downtown Worcester stands on the brink of a dramatic renaissance with a new hotel
attached to the convention center, new courthouse and major housing and retail projects all in the works.
Worcester is home to the DCU Center, a 13,000 seat arena that
features big-name rock bands; Mechanics Hall, a world renowned
venue for opera, Jazz, blues and classical concerts; and the Worcester Art Museum, internationally known as one of the finest small
museums in the United States. Other museums include the Higgins
Armory Museum, a repository of Medieval arms and armor;
Ecotarium, which combines the features of a science museum, planetarium and a zoo; the headquarters of the American Antiquarian
Society; and Worcester Historical Museum.
After a $40 million restoration project, the historic Union Station now serves visitors and commuters via MBTA regional service
and Amtrak national service.
Worcester has world-class dining, ethnic restaurants and diners, coffee houses, bookstores, shopping, parks, and recreation —
all within easy reach of campus.
