The Hobart College Statesmen celebrated a big Senior Day win when SO QB Shane Sweeney found SR WR Cooper Merrill from four yards out with nine seconds remaining to give Hobart (6-3, 4-2) a hard fought, 19-17 comeback victory against the #25th ranked Saint Lawrence University Saints (7-2, 5-1).
The last second TD saved the Statesmen from having to see the Saints celebrate their first LL title since 2010 on the Boz. We covered this game and Hobart's playoff chances on "In The HuddLLe" which you can listen to here.
The win was the 40th in the careers of the Class of 2016 and these Seniors got to enjoy a "W" in their final home game at Hobart:
2 Trayvon Toney
6 Cooper Merrill
7 Jacob Stanley
10 Conner Hartigan
14 Parker Thelander
22 Christopher Holoman
28 Justin Burke
54 TJ Scamurra
56 Julian Jackson
65 Emiliano Acosta
66 Brendan Casey
67 Levi Boyer
80 Josh Britton
87 Yanni Zulia
89 Nick Liverio
98 Tucker Gumkowski
SR TE Josh Britton caught one of Sweeney's three TD passes to open the scoring for Hobart. SO WR Brandon Shed made a great catch for a TD in the fourth quarter that kept the Statesmen in the game. Ultimately it was the defense's bend but don't break second half performance and shutting out the Saints.
Hobart will travel to Rochester (5-3, 3-3) looking to retain the Centennial Cup. Although a long shot, if Saint Lawrence and RPI lose Saturday, the Statesmen can clinch their fifth consecutive LL championship if they beat the Yellow Jackets.
I'll have a preview up for the Centennial Cup game later this week. Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
