Third-period goals lift #2 Hobart past Skidmore, 4-1

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Hobart scored twice in the opening five minutes of the third period to break a 1-1 tie and defeat the Skidmore College men's hockey team, 4-1, in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) opener Friday evening at the Saratoga City Rink.
  • Skidmore is 1-1 overall and 0-1 in SUNYAC play. Hobart, ranked second nationally (DIIIHockeyNews) remains unbeaten at 5-0 and is 1-0 in the conference.
  • Mitchell Floccare gave the Thoroughbreds a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 11:17 of the first period. Floccare took a pass from the corner, walked the blue line and sent a wrist shot through traffic from just inside the blue line. Dylan Shane and Bryan Tang picked up the assists.
  • Tommy Aitken stopped all 11 Hobart shots in the opening period as Skidmore carried its one-goal advantage into the first intermission.
  • The Statesmen pulled even at 9:59 of the middle frame. A big hit in the neutral zone sparked a 3-on-1 rush, and Tamas Toth finished a tic-tac-toe passing sequence with Christian Kocsis and Arvega Hovsepyan earning the helpers.
  • Chris Battaini put Hobart ahead at 2:23 of the third period. Battaini forced a turnover before finding open space in the slot and beating Aitken high on the glove side. Frantisek Albrecht and Luke Calabria assisted.
  • Bauer Morrissey extended the lead to 3-1 with a power-play tally exactly two minutes later. Hovsepyan worked around a defender to set up Morrissey for a one-timer, with Conor Lally also credited with an assist.
  • Skidmore pulled Aitken for an extra attacker with 3:15 remaining, but Toth finished a rush into the empty net with 51 seconds left. Kocsis and Hovsepyan assisted on Toth's second goal of the night.
  • The Thoroughbreds held a 30-27 advantage in shots on goal. Aitken finished with 23 saves, while Connor Shibley made 29 stops for Hobart.
  • Skidmore went 1-for-5 on the power play. Hobart converted once in two opportunities.
  • Coleman Jenkins won 18 of 28 faceoffs to help Skidmore finish with a 38-36 edge at the dot. Bryson Russell led the Thoroughbreds with three blocked shots.
