The Hobart College Statesmen continued their home winning streak, taking their 13th straight in a dominating, 17-0, shutout of Saint John Fisher. The Cardinals (1-2) racked up over 300 yards of total offense, including 18 first downs, but could never crack the scoreboard.
Hobart (2-1) used a grinding running and efficient passing game to get the win. SR QB David Krewson went 11-15 for 194 yards and 1 TD. JR RB Tim Denham, Jr. carried the ball 25 times for 111yards and 1 TD. Although he missed on two attempts, SO PK Toby Wefering was good from 23 yards to cap the scoring. SO LB Peterson Monexant led the defense with 9 tackles and 1 INT.

The victory was a much needed one after a rough Week 2. Still, the Statesmen have some work to do as usually a three turnover game would result in more than 17 points. Hobart also only gained 16 yards on six plays in the entire fourth quarter. The Statesmen really need to cut down on the penalties, as they were flagged nine times for -87 yards. Hobart isn't the most penalized team in the LL at the moment, that honor goes to Union (30 penalties for -268 yards), but they're pretty close.
Next weekend, the Statesmen will travel to winless Keystone College in PA. The Giants are 0-13 all-time, but they led 20-7 at the half over William Paterson in Week 3. WPU eventually came back to win, 27-20, to improve to 2-1.
I'll have more on that matchup early next week.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
