MISSION STATMENT
COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS
DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS
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 studentathletes 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.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
CORRESPONDENCE
It is important for prospective student-athletes to get in touch
with the coaching staff as soon as possible. An e-mail or
letter of inquiry into the program will initiate the recruiting
process. Recruiting questionnaires for most sports are also
available at www.GoHolyCross.com. The spring of your
junior year or early senior year is the most appropriate time
to contact the coach.
INTERVIEWS
Students are strongly encouraged to have admissions
interviews. The office offers interviews from the summer
until Dec. 30. Alumni interviews in most metropolitan areas
are available. Students must first submit an application and
indicate they would like an alumni interview before Dec. 1.
EARLY DECISION
Students who are absolutely, 100 percent confident Holy
Cross is their top college choice are encouraged to apply
during the early decision process.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid is awarded on the basis of need. Prospective
student-athletes should complete the CSS Profile Form in
early fall.
NCAA ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATION
The NCAA Eligibility Center certifies academic eligibility
and amateurism for all prospective student-athletes who wish
to compete in intercollegiate athletics at the Division I or II
level. Prospective student-athletes must register at https://
web1.ncaa.org/eligibilitycenter and complete the online
release form. Prospective student-athletes must arrange for
the appropriate national testing agency to send copies of
standardized test scores (e.g., SAT or ACT) directly to the
NCAA Eligibility Center. Prospects must also complete the
amateurism questionnaire. An institution may not provide
an official visit to a prospective student-athlete until he or
she registers with the NCAA Eligibility Center.
TELEPHONE CALLS
As per NCAA bylaw 13.1.3.1, institutional staff members
may not telephone a prospect (or the prospect’s relatives
RECRUITING INFORMATION
or legal guardians) prior to July 1 following the prospect’s
completion of the junior year in high school. After July 1,
institutional staff members may telephone a prospect once
per week (measured Sunday through Saturday). The onceper-week limit applies to the entire institution.
VIDEO TAPES
In an attempt to make an accurate assessment as soon as
possible, it is recommended that video tapes be forwarded to
the coach’s attention as soon as possible. The video need not
be an elaborate production. Some simple game or practice
tape is sufficient with you being easily identified.
EVALUATIONS
As per NCAA bylaw 13.02.6.1, an evaluation is any
off-campus activity designed to assess the academic
qualifications or athletic ability of a prospect, including any
visit to a prospect’s educational institution (during which no
contact occurs) or the observation of a prospect participating
in any practice or competition at any size. We are limited in
our number of evaluations per prospective student-athlete.
CONTACTS
As per NCAA bylaw 13.02.3, a contact is any face-to-face
encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent
or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or
athletics representative during which any dialogue occurs
in excess of an exchange of a greeting. Any such face-toface encounter that is prearranged or takes place on the
grounds of the prospect’s high school, or at the site of
organized competition or practice involving the prospect’s
high school, preparatory school, two-year college, or all-star
team is considered a contact, regardless of the conversation
that occurs. We are limited to three off-campus contacts per
prospective student-athlete.
OFFICIAL VISITS
According to NCAA bylaw 13.7.1.2, a prospect may not
make more than five expense-paid visits to NCAA member
institutions, regardless of the number of sports in which
the prospect is involved. An institution may not provide
an expense-paid visit to a prospect who has not presented
the institution with a high school (or college) academic
transcript and a score from a PSAT, an SAT, a PACTPlus or
an ACT test taken on a national testing date under national
testing conditions. Prospects must be registered with the
NCAA Eligibility Center prior to making an official visit.
UNOFFICIAL VISITS
According to NCAA bylaw 13.8.1, a prospect may visit
an institution’s campus at the prospect’s own expense an
unlimited number of times and may make an unofficial visit
before the prospect’s senior year in high school.

FITTON FIELD QUICK FACTS
Capacity:
3,000
Surface:
Grass
Built:
1905
Renovated:
2005
Dimensions:
LF (332), LCF (357), CF (385),
RCF (372), RF (313)
Longest Winning Streak:
35 Games (1922-1925)
First Game:

Namesake:
Named after Father Fitton, who
purchased the land on which the
school was founded and deeded it to
Bishop Fenwick in 1843.
The home of the Crusaders for over a century, Fitton Field is one of the finest grass fields in the Northeast. The field has played host to some of the most memorable contests in
New England college baseball history.
The Crusader baseball program began in 1876, but it was not until 1905 when Holy Cross played its first game at Fitton. Prior to its 8-5 win over Brown on April 19, 1905, the
Crusaders played their home contests at both Driving Park and the Worcester Oval.
Thousands have flocked to Fitton Field to watch the Crusaders over the years. The Holy Cross-Boston College series has attracted some of the largest crowds in New England
college baseball history. In 1923, a crowd of more than 22,000 turned out to witness Crusader ace Owen Carroll hurl a five-hitter and lead Holy Cross to a 5-2 win over Boston College. One year later, Carroll pitched a three-hitter with 10 strikeouts as Holy Cross edged the Eagles 3-1 before 20,000 at Fitton.
In a springboard to its 1952 College World Series championship, the Crusaders defeated Boston College 13-3 at Fitton in their final regular season game of that year to earn a
trip to Omaha, Neb., for the World Series.
In the spring of 2005, the field was renovated to include lighting and permanent seating for 3,000 spectators.

Now in his fifth season as the

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
The following pages provide many highlights from Holy Cross’ distinguished baseball
history, along with important dates during those years.
THE EARLY YEARS (1876-1894)
In the early years, the Holy Cross baseball team only played one game every year
until 1890. In 1890, the Crusaders were provided with their first schedule of any kind,
consisting of five games. In 1893, the Crusaders boosted the schedule to 16 games, finishing
with an 11-5 record.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
• June 10, 1876 – Holy Cross loses to Brown, 16-5, in their first baseball game at Driving
Park in Worcester, Mass.
• June 5, 1877 – Holy Cross defeated Brown 3-2 for their first-ever victory.
• May 30, 1893 – In the first baseball game ever played on the Holy Cross campus, the
Crusaders defeated Georgetown, 4-2.
THE RISE TO STARDOM (1895-1899)
When Mike “Doc” Powers ’97 discovered Louis Sockalexis ’97 on the Penobscot
Indian reservation in Oldtown, Maine, he never imagined that he would be bringing Holy
Cross one of its most legendary athletes. Sockalexis stunned students, fans and major
league scouts with his baseball prowess. Famed to be the hardest hitter and fleetest fielder
of his day, Sockalexis batted .436 and .444 during the 1895 and 1896 seasons with the
Crusaders. He also set a long-standing world record of throwing a baseball the distance of
393 feet and 8 inches (131 yards). At the completion of his second season, “Sock” signed
a contract with the Cleveland Spiders, who, out
of deference to the full-blooded Indian, changed
their name to the Cleveland Indians before he
even wore the big league uniform. The 1896
season started the Crusaders rise to dominance.
The Purple and White squad finished 19-7-1 and
sent a record six players to the major leagues.
The 1897 Crusaders, produced seven .300
hitters, including William H. Fox ’00, who
batted .390 that season and set a world record
by rounding the bases in 13.4 seconds.
Louis Sockalexis
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
• April 19, 1895 – In Louis Sockalexis’ first
game as the HC centerfielder, he registers four
hits, including a grand slam, and six stolen bases
to beat Brown in Providence, R.I., on Patriots’
TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE
Day. Sockalexis’ home
run shatters a fourthstory dormitory window
situated beyond the
baseball fences.
• May 12, 1896 – Holy
Cross soundly defeats
Boston College, 22-5, in
Newton, Mass.
• April 19, 1899 –
Holy Cross scores an
incredible 11 runs in
the 10th inning to defeat
Brown, 17-6.
The first-ever baseball game at Holy Cross, 1893.
A NEW CENTURY (1900-1913)
From 1900 to 1913, the Crusaders compiled a stellar record of 221-120-8. The 1902
Holy Cross squad shut out three of the best college teams on three consecutive days,
beating Cornell, 3-0, Dartmouth, 9-0 and Brown, 11-0. Andrew Coakley ’06 went 103 for the 1902 Crusaders that went 18-6. HC’s first 20-win season came in 1908 on a
team captained by the immortal Jack Barry ’10. Barry was drafted by Connie Mack’s
Philadelphia Athletics as a sophomore. Barry went on to become a member of Mack’s
$100,000 infield, which included first baseman Stuffy McInnis, second baseman Eddie
Collins and third baseman Frank “Home Run” Baker. During his eight seasons with the
A’s, Barry played on four pennant-winning teams and three world champions. Mack called
him “the greatest shortstop there ever was.” The Crusaders played their first exhibition
game against a professional team in 1913, against the defending World Champion Boston
Red Sox at Fenway Park.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
• May 18, 1900 – Patrick “Doc” Carney ’03 pitches the first Crusader one-hitter in a
20-0 defeat of Boston University.
• May 4, 1901 – Holy Cross defeats Rochester, 31-0.
• May 31, 1902 – HC completes a three-game shutout sweep against Cornell, Dartmouth,
and Brown.
• April 12, 1905 – The Crusaders defeat Boston University, 29-0, and steal a recordbreaking 22 bases against the Terriers.
• April 19, 1905 – Holy Cross defeats Brown, 8-5, in the Crusaders first game on Fitton
Field.
• April 9, 1913 – Holy Cross loses 8-1 in its first exhibition game with the Boston Red
Sox.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
EASTERN DOMINANCE (1914-1920)
In the years from 1914 to 1920, Holy Cross won the Eastern Intercollegiate
Championship three times and the New England Championship once in 1918. The
Crusaders went 120-35-2 in those seven years. In 1917, Hall-of-Fame player, and threetime National League batting champion, Jesse Burkett took over the reigns as head coach
for the second time. Burkett guided the Crusaders to
three consecutive 20-win seasons in 1917, 1918 and
1919. The 1917 club dominated opponents, batting a
combined .302 for the season versus a .171 batting
average for their opponents and outscoring them
176 runs to 59 runs. Each of the starting nine of the
1919 squad were awarded All-East berths (six on
the first team and three on the second team). Burkett
retired from HC after only four seasons, compiling
an outstanding 88-12-1 record.
Albert “Hop” Riopel
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
• June 15, 1914 – Crusaders finish 16-5-1 with an
8-0 win over Boston College and become Eastern
Champions for the first time.
• May 30, 1918 – Wilfred “Rosy” Ryan ’20
pitches Holy Cross’ first no-hitter in a 4-0 win over
Dartmouth.
THE RETURN OF JACK BARRY (1921-1950)
Following the 1920 season, Holy Cross found the perfect man to head the Purple nine,
a former HC star newly retired from professional baseball and the Navy, Jack Barry. Barry
led the Crusaders to glory as a player in the early 1900s, and now sought to do the same as
a coach. In his first season, Barry guided the Crusaders to a school-record 30 wins and their
fourth Eastern Intercollegiate Championship. The 284 runs pushed across the plate in 33
games by the 1921 Crusaders, an average of 8.60 runs per game, are the most runs scored by
any HC team in history. After a 24-5 second season, Barry and the Crusaders won another
Eastern Championship in 1923, going 28-2-1. During that season, a total of 65,554 fans
came to see Holy Cross play Boston College three times. In 1924, HC compiled a perfect
18-0 record. Leading the way for the Cross was pitching ace Owen Carroll ’25, who was
judged by historians to be the best pitcher in college baseball of all-time. Over his four year
career on the Hill, Carroll compiled a record of 50-2, threw 16 shutouts, and helped earn
three championships. Holy Cross again won the Eastern Championship in 1926, and then
three-in-a-row from 1928-1930. The Crusaders registered a 42-3 record in 1935 and 1936
and won two more championships. HC won back-to-back Eastern Championships again
in 1940 and 1941, going 15-1 and 14-3 respectively. The 1942 season was interrupted by
TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE
the United States involvement
in World War II and competition
did not return to normal until
1947.
The first-ever baseball game at Fitton Field, 1905.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:
• April 15, 1922 – Owen
Carroll surrenders just three
hits in 12 innings of work as the
Crusaders pull out a 1-0 victory
over Delaware.
• April 2, 1923 – The Crusaders
end Georgetown’s 32-game
winning streak, thanks to the
pitching of Owen Carroll giving up five hits and just one run in a 5-1 win.
• May 2, 1923 – Holy Cross defeats Harvard, 2-1, in fifteen innings. Owen Carroll pitches
all 15 innings for HC, giving up only two hits, driving in the tying run in the ninth inning
and stealing home in the 15th inning for the victory.
• May 30, 1923 – HC defeats Boston College, 5-2, in front of a crowd of 22,000 fans at
Fitton Field.
• June 18, 1923 – Boston College defeats HC, 4-1, before a record crowd of 27,554 at
Braves Field.
• May 7, 1924 – Owen Carroll beats Princeton,
3-2, in 15 innings while striking out a career-high
17 batters.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
In the late spring of 1952, under the direction of the legendary John J. Barry, the Holy
Cross baseball team staged a magical march to the NCAA Championship. Led by fleet-footed
outfielder Johnny Turco and pitching sensations Jim O’Neill and Ron Perry, the Crusaders advanced to their first-ever post-season tournament with a 15-2 regular-season record.
At the sixth-annual double-elimination tournament in Omaha, Neb., the small eastern
college quickly proved it belonged with a 5-1 opening round win over Western Michigan.
But on day two, Holy Cross was forced to fight its way out of the loser’s bracket after suffering a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Missouri. Jackie Lonergan pitched perfect ball against
Missouri, but after one error and a bad throw in the seventh, Jack Concannon made his
first error in 80 chances and the winning run scored without a hit. With one out in the
eighth, Lonergan was touched up for his first and only hit of the game.
1952 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Facing elimination, sophomore hurler Ron Perry held a powerful Texas team in check
until the Crusaders could push the winning run across in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Holy Cross then defeated Western Michigan 15-3 and Penn State 15-4 on Sunday, June
15 to earn the right to meet Missouri in the finals.
Needing a pair of wins to capture the title, Holy Cross scored five runs in the top of
the sixth inning and received a complete game from Ron Perry en route to a 7-3 win in
the first game. On Tuesday evening, June 17, the Crusaders erased a 4-3 Missouri lead
with three runs in the seventh and two in the ninth to capture the College World Series
title. Jim O’Neill, who earned MVP honors, became the first pitcher in NCAA history to
win three games in the tournament.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
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 2,800 students, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic
college in New England. Founded in 1843 in Worcester,
ABOUT HOLY CROSS
Mass., 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 to faculty ratio of 11 to one,
the opportunity for individual attention is readily available. Few classes
exceed an enrollment of 40, and
most average 19 students.
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 300 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 more than 650,000
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 new
$60-million Integrated Science Complex.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
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-
ABOUT HOLY CROSS
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 directservice 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,
a baseball stadium, a soccer stadium, a
hockey rink and the Hart Recreation Center, home to the basketball, swimming and
hockey 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:

UNIQUE PROGRAMS
MONTSERRAT
COLLEGE HONORS
All first-year students are part of a challenging academic
and co-curricular program called Montserrat. Embracing
the excitement and discovery of living and learning at Holy
Cross, this program — expressly designed for first-year students — integrates academic, co-curricular and residential
experiences in unique ways. One of the cornerstones of a
Holy Cross education is the commitment to Jesuit values.
So it is fitting that the program is named after the mountain
in Spain where, in 1522, St. Ignatius of Loyola (the founder
of the Jesuit order) decided to begin a new life. Students
entering Holy Cross are also beginning a new chapter of
their lives — and Montserrat provides experiences in and out
of the classroom to enhance their journey, while supplying
the tools to climb to new places.
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.
WASHINGTON SEMESTER
Each semester, 15 juniors and first-semester seniors are accepted into a highly selective program in the nation’s capital.
Students work with members of congress or federal agencies, assist advocacy and public policy groups, and explore
up-close the arts, history and culture of Washington, D.C.
With support from their Holy Cross advisor, students pursue
internships that consist of four full work days, and a public
policy seminar one night each week. On the fifth weekday,
they conduct independent research for their Washington
thesis paper.
STUDY ABROAD
Students looking to broaden their Holy Cross experience
have an excellent opportunity to do so through the Study
Abroad program. Year-long programs provide qualified
students with exciting and fully credited extensions of
the college’s curriculum at participating universities in:
Australia, Austria, Cameroon, England, France, Germany,
Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Scotland,
Spain and Russia. One-semester programs are also available in China and Sri Lanka. Third-year students in good
academic standing live with host families, and take courses
and exams alongside foreign students in their native
language. Deepening the cultural experience, students
complete an independent study project in the local community to ensure close interaction with the people of their
chosen countries.

class sizes and beautiful campus as “award winners.”
COMMUNITY-BASED LEARNING
Through a generous endowment established by its namesake, Joseph P. Donelan II, the Donelan Office of Community-Based Learning provides a directorship to establish
connections between courses across the college curriculum
with internship sites in the greater Worcester area. In keeping with the college’s social mission to prepare students to be
“men and women for others,” Community-Based Learning
enables students to be of service to the community while
enhancing their understanding of course material.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
Opened in 1997, the Carol and Park B. Smith Wellness
Center is a two-story facility which was built as an addition
to the Hart Recreation Center. The wellness center provides
state-of-the-art fitness equipment for varsity athletes and all
other members of the Holy Cross community.
A $1.5-million gift from Carol and Park B. Smith (Class
of 1954) kicked off the campaign to fund the facility. “Everyone today agrees that fitness is very important,” Smith
said in 1997. “I’m confident that this new Wellness Center
— whose facilities will be second-to-none — will provide
a real benefit to current and future Holy Cross students,
teachers and staff.”
With 15,000 square feet, the wellness center provides
over four times more space than the college previously
had for varsity and community exercise and training, and
centralizes athletic equipment and facilities once found in
five locations in three campus buildings.
On the first level, the center houses a highly versatile
strength and conditioning center for Holy Cross’ varsity
student-athletes. There are areas for speed development
programs, as well as for strength and endurance conditioning. The space, which is able to accommodate as many as
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
60 people at a time, enables Holy Cross’
larger sports teams to work out together,
thereby enhancing team unity.
The second floor has been designed
for use by all students, faculty and staff.
It has two sections: one for aerobic training, and the other for cardiovascular,
variable-resistance and strength training.
A diverse selection of equipment accommodates users ranging from beginners to
advanced athletes. Its south-facing wall is
mostly glass, allowing most users a view
of the practice fields and the rolling hills
of central New England.
The center also offers programs that
explore the connections between fitness
and wellness, to help students learn how
good health can complement and enhance
other aspects of their educational experience. An advisory board comprising
physicians, fitness and strength trainers, faculty members, psychologists,
nutritionists, a college
chaplain and others are
responsible for creating and coordinating
programming for the center.
Holy Cross head strength and conditioning coach Jeff Oliver believes that
the wellness center is of the utmost importance to Crusader athletic teams.
“Over the past few decades, college coaches have turned increasingly to
strength and conditioning to gain an edge
over their opponents,” Oliver said. “And
while football may have been the first to
grasp the concept, we now train athletes
from every varsity sport. The wellness
center has been a huge boon to our program.”
With 6,500 square feet of the center
devoted solely to varsity athletes, Oliver
and his staff to are able to accommodate a much larger
number of athletes at one time, allowing teams to train
together at times more convenient to their busy schedules
as student-athletes.
The state-of-the-art equipment in the wellness center
includes:
• Eight multi-purpose power racks, each with over 600
pounds of free weights.
• Seven Olympic lifting platforms with over 375 pounds of
rubberized free weights.
• More than 3,000 pounds of dumbbells.
• Eighteen pieces of aerobic equipment.
• Three full sets of plyometric boxes.
• A number of free weight-loaded pieces of equipment to
accommodate injured athletes.
“Thanks to the generous donation from the Smiths,”
Oliver said, “This facility is state of the art.”

Worcester, the economic and social center of central
Massachusetts, is New England’s third-largest city with a
population of 175,500. 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 about three 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 CITY
the hundreds of rivers and lakes in the area,
including Lake Quinsigamond.
First incorporated as a township in 1722,
this settlement 40 miles west of Boston soon
became an important transportation center
on the Boston Turnpike, linking the capital
city with New York and the west. One of
America’s first internal commercial waterways, the Blackstone Canal, linked the town
with Providence to the south and gave direct
access to the Atlantic Ocean.
Primarily an industrial city
through the mid-20th 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, a new courthouse and major
housing and retail projects all in the works.
Worcester is nonetheless predominantly
residential in character. More than 1,200 acres
of city-owned parkland are found within its
38 square miles. Half of the entire city budget
goes for educational purposes, testimony to
the values of its inhabitants. Its parklands
are among the oldest in the nation, as are its
library and music festival. Worcester is a city
proud of its past and secure in its future.
Worcester is home to the DCU Center, a
13,000-seat arena that features big-name rock
bands; Mechanics Hall, a world renowned
OF
WORCESTER
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; the Ecotarium, which combines the
features of a science museum, a planetarium and a zoo; the
headquarters of the American Antiquarian Society; and the
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,
diners, coffee houses, bookstores, shopping, parks and
recreation — all within easy reach of campus.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
REV. PHILIP L. BOROUGHS, S.J., PRESIDENT
F r. P h i l i p
Boroughs, S.J., a
faculty member
and senior administrator with
decades of experience and a deep
understanding of
Jesuit higher education through
his work at Gonzaga, Seattle,
and Georgetown
universities, assumed office as the 32nd
president of Holy Cross in January 2012.
Immediately before coming to Holy
Cross, he served as Georgetown’s first-ever
vice president for mission and ministry from
2003 to 2011. There, he was the only Jesuit
serving as a senior university administrator. In addition to overseeing a division of
the university as well as directing ministry
on campus and at Georgetown University
Hospital, Fr. Boroughs was responsible for
numerous programs for faculty, staff, students, and alumni which advanced Catholic
and Jesuit identity. During his eight-year
tenure at Georgetown, he raised funds to
develop and endow the Calcagnini Contemplative Center currently under construction,
to renovate the historic Dahlgren Chapel,
and to endow positions and programs for
the Office of Mission and Ministry.
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia,
in 1949, Fr. Boroughs was raised in Seattle,
the third of five children of the late Robert
and Catherine Boroughs. He earned his
B.A. from Gonzaga University in Spokane,
Wash., in 1973, and received a Master of
Divinity from the Jesuit School of Theology
(Chicago) in 1978. He holds a Licentiate of
Sacred Theology from the Jesuit School of
Theology in Berkeley (1987) and received
a Ph.D. in Christian spirituality from the
Graduate Theological Union (Berkley, Calif.) in 1989. His doctoral dissertation was
on John Woolman (1720-1772), the itinerant Quaker preacher in Colonial America,
who advocated against slavery and whose
journal is considered a spiritual classic.
He entered the Jesuit order in 1967,
was ordained a priest in 1978, and made
his final vows as a Jesuit in 1986.
Prior to coming to Georgetown, Fr.
Boroughs served as the rector of the Jesuit
Community at Seattle University where he
was also a faculty member in the School
of Theology and Ministry. Previously, he
taught religious studies at Gonzaga University (1989-1991), served as the assistant
novice director for the Oregon Province of
Jesuits (1980-1982), and was a parish priest
at St. Leo Church in Tacoma, Wash. (19781980). A former member of the Board of
Trustees at the University of San Francisco,
he also served as a member of the Holy
Cross Board of Trustees (2008-2011).
Fr. Boroughs travels frequently for both
professional responsibilities and personal interests. He has relatives in Canada, Scotland,
and England; his four siblings live on the
West Coast, and he enjoys hiking and outdoor
recreation in the Pacific Northwest. He has
traveled regularly to Kenya, leading a faculty/
staff immersion experience, and in connection
with his longstanding commitment to support
and raise funds for St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School in Nairobi. St. Aloysius serves
young people from the slum of Kibera whose
parents have died of AIDS.

2012 HOLY CROSS BASEBALL
ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION
RICHARD M. REGAN, JR., DIRECTOR
Richard M.
Regan, Jr., is now
in his 14th year
as the director of
athletics at Holy
Cross in 20112012. Regan,
whose tenure
began on July 1,
1998, became just
the fourth Holy
Cross athletic director in the last 50 years. “He is smart, full
of energy, skilled in financial management
and fully committed to Holy Cross,” said
then Holy Cross president Fr. Gerard Reedy,
S.J., at the time of Regan’s hiring.
Regan’s first 13 years have been productive ones for the Crusaders. During this
period of time, 19 Holy Cross teams have
advanced to NCAA tournament play — including at least one team in 10 of the last
13 seasons. The women’s basketball team
has been to the postseason in seven of the
last 13 years (six NCAA appearances and
a WNIT berth in 2002), while the football
(2009), field hockey (1998 and 2000) and
women’s soccer (2000) programs have
also made NCAA appearances. Regan’s
tenure has also seen the first-ever NCAA
appearances for the men’s ice hockey
(2004 and 2006), men’s soccer (2002)
and women’s lacrosse (2006 and 2007)
teams. In addition, the men’s basketball
program has seen a great deal of success
under Regan’s watch, having advanced to
postseason play in five of the last 11 years,
and becoming the first Patriot League team
ever to advance to the NCAA tournament
in three consecutive seasons (2001, 2002
and 2003).
Success is not measured only by wins
and losses, but by other gains as well. In
an effort to further increase the number of
Crusader teams coached by full-time staff
members, Regan announced the appointment of full-time coaching positions in
track, volleyball, women’s lacrosse and softball. Gender equity has been a major focus
of Regan’s administration and he introduced
the college’s first two new varsity sports in
more than 15 years — women’s ice hockey
and women’s golf.
Improvements to the athletics facilities
have also been part of Regan’s focus. The new
Linda Johnson Smith Stadium is home to not
only the men’s and women’s soccer teams,
but its unique two-sided stands and press facilities provide an additional benefit to home
events for field hockey and outdoor track and
field. In 2009, a new synthetic turf facility
was opened for use by the football, men’s
lacrosse and women’s lacrosse teams.
The baseball team opened a new oncampus stadium beginning in the fall of
2005. And there have been improvements to
other facilities as well, such as the softball
field, new football and men’s ice hockey
locker rooms, and a video room for the
men’s and women’s basketball teams.
In addition to his duties on campus,
Regan has become involved in college athletic policy on a national scale. A current
member of the NCAA Division I Men’s
Soccer Committee, Regan previously served
a term as a Division I-AA representative on
the NCAA Division I Management Council
from 1999-2004. The Management Council,
OF
ATHLETICS
comprised of 49 athletic administrators and
faculty athletic representatives from around
the nation, reports directly to the NCAA’s
Division I Board of Directors. The council
is responsible for adopting operating bylaws
and rules to govern Division I, interpreting
Division I bylaws, reviewing recommendations from the Division I conferences and
universities, and developing and implementing the Division I budget.
Prior to returning to Worcester in July
of 1998, Regan worked for NFL International and NFL Europe (formerly the World
League of American Football). He joined
the New York office of the World League in
1991 and was based in London beginning in
1992. Over the next several years he lived in
London and Edinburgh, and served as managing director of the Scottish Claymores,
vice president of European operations and
chief operating officer.
When the World League went through
a reorganization following the 1992 season,
National Football League commissioner
Paul Tagliabue appointed Regan as managing director of NFL International, Ltd., to
oversee and develop the NFL’s business
interests throughout Europe. In that role,
he was instrumental in establishing NFL
International in Europe and planning and
executing the NFL’s American Bowl series
of international games in London, Dublin,
Barcelona and Berlin.
Regan held the post of managing director of Monarch International, Inc., a licensing and financial consulting firm, for three
years before joining the World League.
After graduating from Holy Cross in
1976, Regan spent nine years working for
Arthur Andersen & Company in its Boston,
Mass., offices, rising to the level of senior
manager. He then moved to the NFL with
the New England Patriots, where he served
in the role of Vice President of Finance from
1985-1988.
His ties to Mount St. James run deep,
as he is the third generation of his family to
