SR RB Joe Letizia had a career night, rushing for 162 yards and two TDs. FY RB Dakota Harvey continues to impress, adding 131 yards and three TDs. SR QB Shane Sweeney passed for 149 yards and one TD, running in another.
The Statesmen (2-1) defense struggled at times, allowing a 71 yard TD pass to open the game and trail 6-0 less than a minute into the contest. Hobart would rally back, with 21 unanswered points to take a 21-6 lead. The Hornets (2-1) with 17 unanswered of their own, en route to a 23-21 halftime lead.
The second half would be all Hobart however, as the Statesmen OL took over the game and the defense stiffened, allowing only one TD in the 3rd and shutting out Shenandoah in the 4th quarter.
SO LB Jedh Downey led the Statesmen defense with 15 tackles. JR DT Sean Moore made an athletic play in catching a tipped ball for an INT, helping Hobart to a short field and an offensive score not too long after.
Shenandoah did have success on the Statesmen secondary, passing for 303 yards and scoring 4 TDs. The rush defense was much better, keeping the Hornets to only 69 total yards on 22 carries.
Up next for Hobart is another familiar Coach and program in Endicott. The Gulls stunned defending MASCAC Champs Bridgewater State (0-3) in Week 2, but fell 31-26 to Coach Chad Martinovich's '94 MIT Engineers (2-1) last Saturday. We'll have more on the Gulls (1-2) later this week.
In the meantime, here's the official recap on the Shenandoah game. Feels good to get a win. Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
