The Hobart College Statesmen took on the Saint Lawrence University Saints on Senior Day at Boswell Field. It was an earlier start (11 am) than usual for both teams, and the offenses took a little time to warm up.
Hobart (6-3, 2-2) got on the board first when SR QB Shane Sweeney scampered for 15 yards to give the Statesmen an early 7-0 lead. A FY RB Dakota Harvey fumble was quickly cashed in when SR QB Sean Richardson hit SR WR Vincenzo Ferraro on the next play for a 40-yard TD strike.
The Statesmen would go on to score 27 unanswered points, holding the Saints (2-6, 1-3) to only eight first downs, -19 rushing yards and only 157 yards of total offense (while forcing three turnovers). Hobart would roll up 465 total yards, including 278 passing yards and two TDs by Sweeney. SR WR Brandon Shed set the all-time receiving record, notching his 30th consecutive game with a catch, with 121 yards. SR TE Zach Withers and SO WR Isaiah Hill had receiving TDs for Hobart and FY PK Kyle Hackett hit his 8th and 9th FGs on the season, from 30 and 35 yards, respectively.
The defense was led by SO LB Jedh Downey with six tackles, including a sack and TFL. SR DE Brandon Ball added five stops and 2.5 TFL.
The HWSAthletics.com recap can be seen here. The Statesmen will wrap up the 2017 season at Rochester (2-6, 0-4) in the annual Centennial Cup game next Saturday at noon.
Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
