The Crusader programs to post perfect graduation rates were baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's cross country, men's golf, women's golf, women's ice hockey, men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, women's rowing, men's soccer, women's soccer, softball, men's swimming and diving, women's swimming and diving, men's tennis, women's tennis, women's indoor track and field, women's outdoor track and field, and volleyball.

Overall, the lowest Graduation Success Rate for any Holy Cross team was 92 percent, well above the NCAA Division I average of 77 percent for all sports.

In addition to the individual sport figures, the NCAA will release the overall Graduation Success Rate for each institution later this month.
