Holy Cross abetted the Crimson with an offensive meltdown, as point guard Ryan Serravalle, who was a Patriot League All-Rookie Team selection last year, collected his fourth foul with just under 10 minutes to play. Serravalle had eight points and six assists in the first, but managed only two points and three assists in limited minutes in the second...
