lacrosse team earned a victory in Geneva over Hobart College thanks to
first-year midfielder Will Jones^Ò goal with 1:14 remaining in overtime.
The game was the 17th to be decided by just a single goal in the 52
meetings between the two schools.
The Nittany Lions (5-4) took their first lead of the second half with
37 seconds remaining, breaking a 9-all tie on senior attackman Will
Driscoll^Òs (Fairport, N.Y.) sixth goal of the afternoon. Hobart junior
midfielder Tim Booth (Waterloo/Waterloo, N.Y.) won the ensuing faceoff
and charged into the Penn State defensive zone. He fired a quick pass to
senior attackman Scott Harvey (Suffern/Cornwall, N.Y.), who tied the
game with 31 seconds remaining. Harvey led Hobart (5-4) with three
goals.
^ÓThat was our best effort of the season and I^Òm extremely proud of our
guys,^Ô Hobart Head Coach Matt Kerwick said. ^ÓWe didn^Òt come out on the
right end of this one, but we^Òll take this and learn from it.^Ô
The loss put a damper on a spectacular effort by junior goalie Mike
Borsz (West Genesee/Camillus, N.Y.). He finished with a career-high 25
saves, including several on shots from point-blank range.
^ÓHe was unbelievable,^Ô Kerwick said. ^ÓThat was one of the best goalie
performances I^Òve ever seen.^Ô
A nip-and-tuck contest from start to finish, the game was tied five
times, with three lead changes, and neither team led by more than two
goals.
Two of the biggest plays of the game were made by Penn State junior
midfielder Rob Booth (Gladwyne, Pa.). Hobart junior John Bogosian (Kent
School/Massena, N.Y.) scored six second before halftime, giving the
Statesmen a 7-5 lead. Booth won the ensuing faceoff and fired a shot
from 10-yards outside of the restraining box. Borsz was partially
screened on the shot, and it crossed the goal line just before the horn
sounded.
Booth^Òs second big play came on the faceoff to start overtime. While
Hobart^Òs Booth won the draw, PSU^Òs Booth tracked him down, knocked the
ball loose, and gave the Nittany Lions possession. Five Penn State shots
later, Jones struck for the game-winner.
Junior Chris Garrity (Annapolis, Md.) made 11 saves to earn the win.
The Nittany Lions outshot Hobart 58-45, but the Statesmen held a 45-34
advantage on ground balls and a 15-9 edge in faceoffs. Hobart^Òs Booth
was a major factor in the later two stats, winning 13-of-22 faceoffs and
picking up a team-high nine ground balls.
The Statesmen wrap up their four-game homestand at 1 p.m., on April 13,
when they host fifth-ranked Georgetown.
