The teams traded goals for a majority of the second quarter before Hobart took advantage of a goal from Aslanian and a pair of tallies from Scott during the final 1:35 of the frame to build a 11-6 advantage at the halftime break. The second half saw the teams keep pace with each other until a man-up marker from Archer at the 1:32 of the third sparked the Statesmen to a 5-0 run that allowed them to build a 10-goal lead, 18-8, with 5:24 to play. The teams exchanged goals in the last minute of regulaton to determine the final margin. Senior Liam Ganzhorn recorded 11 saves in goal for Canisius. Sam Lucchesi finished with five saves for Hobart, four of which came during the fourth quarter. Head Coach Mark Miyashita's Postgame Comments "Hats off to Hobart for its effort this evening. They executed their game plan really well and we unfortunately did not. We thought we had a good game plan, but it did not come together throughout all phases of the field: offense, defense and in special teams/faceoffs. It was a good chance to battle this evening; now we go back to work and get ready for a big conference game Saturday at Marist. "When you're not winning the faceoff battle, the biggest challenge is to get a big stop on defense and get the ball down the field to allow your defense to catch its breath. When we took care of the ball tonight, we were able to shoot the ball very well. However, we had too many unforced turnovers, which put our defense back on its heels. We need to do a better job of taking that burden off the defense."
