KINGSTON, R.I. — The University of Rhode Island denied Holy Cross football a come-from-behind win Saturday.

The Crusaders were down 13-3 in the fourth quarter when senior linebacker Frankie Monte forced a fumble and Holy Cross recovered. 

Senior quarterback Joe Pesansky found sophomore Charly Mullaly, who scored his first career touchdown to bring Holy Cross within three.

Senior running back Jordan Fuller then scored the go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes to play, but the Rams answered with a touchdown at 19 seconds left in the game to win 20-17.

Fuller finished the day with 139 yards. He extended his record for the program's all-time leader in career rushing touchdowns to 41.

The Crusaders defense forced six fumbles and recovered three during the game.

Holy Cross returns to Fitton Field for their home opener Saturday, Sept. 7 against the University of New Hampshire.
