Statesmen Finish Strong With 42-20 Win Over Rochester

The Hobart College Statesmen may not have ended up in the NCAA playoffs, but the offense and defense clicked to take a 42-20 victory over Rochester last Saturday at Fauver Stadium. Hobart scored 113 points in their final three games of the 2015 season.

Although the Statesmen controlled the clock for the vast majority of the game, the Yellow Jackets (5-4, 3-4) kept coming back until Hobart pulled away in the second half and shut out Rochester for nearly 26 minutes to wrap up another Centennial Cup victory.

SO QB Shane Sweeney broke a single game record with six TD passes, connecting twice with classmates SO TE Zach Withers and SO WR Brandon Shed along with TD passes to FY RB Tynard Barfield and SR FB Christopher Holoman.

The Statesmen defense was led by SR LB Trayvon Toney with seven tackles.

The win ends Hobart's 2015 campaign with a 7-3, 5-2 overall mark and the Class of 2016 finishes their Statesmen careers with a 41-6 overall record, including three league championships.

Although there will be losses to graduation, this Statesmen squad is still young and has a lot of key players returning in 2016. I will post a season retrospective in the coming week(s).

Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
