squad and Mother Nature to earn a 14-10 Patriot League victory this
evening in the first night game ever played on the Colleges^Ò campus.
First-year attackman Nate Hill (Hamburg/Hamburg, N.Y.) led all scorers
with seven points on two goals and five assists.
For the second time in as many games, the Statesmen (5-3, 4-1 PL) faced
off with the first place team in the Patriot League (Hobart beat
Bucknell, 12-11, on Saturday). The Raiders (4-4, 1-1 PL) seemed
undaunted by the snow flakes that fell throughout the game, building a
2-1 lead five minutes into the game on a pair of tallies by junior
midfielder Nick Gerken (Wilton, Conn.).
The Statesmen answered with six straight goals, the first three set up
by Hill, to take a comfortable 7-2 lead into halftime. Both his assists
and points totals are the highest by a Statesmen this season.
^Ó[Nate Hill] is the kind of guy that plays hard every day in practice,
so when he gets in those situations in a game he makes plays,^Ô Hobart
Head Coach Matt Kerwick said.
Colgate erased Hobart^Òs 6-0 run in the third quarter with an inspired
effort in the third quarter. The Raiders scored the first four goals
after the break on back-to-back efforts by sophomore Chris Michaels
(Pennington, N.J.) and then junior Peter Watts (Wayland, Mass.).
Michaels finished with two goals and an assist.
The Statesmen responded with goals from junior attackman John Bogosian
(Kent School/Massena, N.Y.) and junior midfielder Sean Kent (La
Salle/Lower Gwynedd, Pa.).
Colgate rallied for three more goals, the last two by senior midfielder
Joe Parker (Crofton, Md.) to tied the game at 9-all with 13:31 left to
play. Parker finished with a team best two goals and two assists.
The teams traded goals to 10-all and stayed that way until the Raiders
were penalized for an illegal body check with 4:44 remaining. Senior
midfielder David Spratlen (Colorado Academy/Littleton, Colo.) converted
the extra-man opportunity to give Hobart a one-goal lead at the 4:21
mark.
The Statesmen added three more insurance goals, the last two by Hill in
the final minute, to give Hobart its 20th consecutive win over Colgate.
Junior Mike Borsz (West Genesee/Camillus, N.Y.) earned the win in goal
with 10 saves, while senior Chris Hettler (Liverpool, N.Y.) also stopped
10 shots for the Raiders.
Hobart returns to action on April 6, when it entertains Penn State.
Faceoff is scheduled for 1 p.m., on Boswell Field. Weather may dictate
moving the game to artificial turf, which would also require a later
start time. A press release will be issued as soon as possible once a
venue and start time have been determined.
