GENEVA, N.Y.—The Hobart College hockey team fell to 14th-ranked Wentworth 2-0 in a non-league contest tonight at The Cooler. The Statesmen slip to 7-7-2 overall, while the Leopards improve to 11-1-1 on the year.
Hobart outshot Wentworth 44-28, but could not get the puck past senior goalie Justin Marriott. Marriott stopped all 44 shots he faced en route to his seventh career shutout, which ties the Leopards’ program record. Twenty of Marriott’s saves came in the third period, as he effectively held off a torrent of shots from the Statesmen.
After a scoreless first period, Wentworth notched its first tally on a power play in the 12th minute of the second. First-year Dylan Barberi recorded the goal, his first of the season, assisted by sophomore Skylur Jameson and senior Jeff Olitch. Jameson would go on to seal the game for the Leopards with an empty net goal in the 19th minute of the third period.
First-years
Brad Richard and
Chris Cannizzaro paced Hobart with seven and six shots, respectively, while first-year goalie
Nick Broadwater collected 26 saves.
The Leopards were 1-for-7 on the power play, while the Statesmen were 0-for-6.
