The Hobart College Statesmen finished their 2025 campaign on a five-game winning streak, defeating the SUNY-Maritime Privateers in convincing fashion in the ECAC James Lynah Bowl game, 42-14.
Hobart (6-5, 4-3) controlled the game from the get-go. The Statesmen outgained the Privateers (5-6, 3-4) 472-316 total yards. JR RB EJ Taylor had his seventh 100-yard rushing game of the season, carrying the ball 19 times for 172 yards and 2 rushing TDs.
SO QB Jeremy Weiss went 8-13 for 186 yards, 3 passing TDs and only one INT. His favorite target was SO WR Johnny Harding who caught two passes for 53 yards with both going for TDs. SR LB Noah Chachere and SO DL Trey Dillanough led the Hobart defense with nine tackles each.
Hobart opened the scoring with SR QB Tru Styles running in from 11 yards out to take an early, 7-0, lead. Taylor would score his first TD of the day to open the second quarter to give the Statesmen a 14-0 advantage. Credit Maritime, they made it 14-7 with 3:19 to go before the half, but Hobart would take a 21-7 halftime lead thanks to a Weiss to JR WR Marcus Peterson 38-yard TD pass.
The second half was all Hobart with the second Taylor TD run and both of Harding's TD receptions. Although the Statesmen would give up a "garbage time" TD, they would win the game. 42-14.
This concludes Hobart's season and ends it on a positive note. I'll have a season recap and review later next week. In the meantime, let's enjoy this, the Statesmen's fourth ECAC bowl championship.
Thanks as always for reading and go 'Bart!
