The team compiled a 3–4 record in its fourth and final year under head coach Luke Kelly, who had stepped down after the 1916 season, but returned after his successor, Frank Cavanaugh, entered the United States Army.[1] Raymond Lynch was the team captain for the second consecutive year.[2]

Holy Cross played its home games at Fitton Field on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.
