The Hobart lacrosse team will head to Baltimore for its final ECAC Lacrosse League game of the season. The Statesmen will square off with defending conference champion Loyola on Sat., April 25. The opening faceoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Hobart (7-5, 2-4) has won two in a row following Tuesday night's 17-6 throttling of Canisius on McCooey Field. Junior Kevin Curtin and first-year Chris Pedersen led the attack against the Golden Griffins with five points apiece.

Senior Jeff Colburn boasts a team-high 34 points (16g, 18a), while junior Max Silberlicht backstops a stingy defense. He is second in the conference in goals against average (7.23) and third in save percentage (.631).

Loyola (8-4, 5-1) has won three in a row and is ranked 14th in the nation. Junior attackman Cooper MacDonnell and senior attackman Shane Koppens share the team lead with 34 points apiece. MacDonnell sports a team-high 28 goals, while Koppens is the play-maker with 14 assists. Sophomore goalie Jake Hagelin is 6-3 this season with a 7.87 GAA and a .537 save percentage.

Hobart won last season's showdown 10-6 in Geneva, but the Greyhounds hold the all-time series lead 8-3.

Athletes of the Week

Kevin Curtin

Hobart Lacrosse

Facing the toughest defense in the nation, Curtin posted his third consecutive hat trick. He completed his collegiate career with a three-goal performance at Bryant on Thursday. The Bulldogs came into the contest allowing just 6.44 goals per game, but the Statesmen netted nine goals, the second highest total against Bryant this season. Curtin capped his career 11th in career goals and career points and 12th in career assists.

Abbie DiPalma

William Smith Rowing

DiPalma served as the coxswain for the William Smith varsity eight that finished second in the petite final at the ECAC Championships on Sunday. In their morning heat, the Herons committed a false start, but then turned in the third fastest time of the heats (out of 20 crews in three heats). William Smith covered the course in 6:59.640, then logged a time of 6:57.688 in the petite final, second only to Division I New Hampshire.
