Woe in Worcester
On the heels of a 2005-06 season that was plagued by health woes, the injury bug is biting the Holy Cross Crusaders again.

In his latest update on CoachRalph.com, HC coach Ralph Willard spends most of the post recapping the Duke game. But after reviewing that tough road loss, Willard reveals some cracks in his team's foundation.

With Torey Thomas already not at full speed following summer knee surgery, Keith Simmons is now being slowed by a sprained knee suffered in the Duke game. Simmons has been unable to practice. Ditto for sophomore Lawrence Dixon, who is having pain in the knee he had operated on in September and is also out of action. On top of that, Pat Doherty, who missed almost all of last season with foot problems, broke his shooting hand in practice and will likely miss most of the Crusaders' first lap around the conference.

Willard plans to use Alex Vander Baan some at the three, with freshmen Eric Meister and Andrew Keister drawing more minutes up front.
