Men’s Ice Hockey Falls 3-1 to #1 Hobart

GENEVA, N.Y. – The New England College men's ice hockey team sustained a 3-1 loss at #1 Hobart College on Saturday afternoon at The Cooler in Geneva, New York in New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) action.  

THE BASICS 
Score: New England College 1, Hobart College 3 
Records: Pilgrims 9-13-1, 8-9-1 NEHC | Statesmen 22-1-0, 17-1-0 NEHC 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • The Statesmen came out of the gates with two goals in the first period, continuing to show why they have been the top ranked team in the nation for the duration of the season. Hobart would grow their lead to 3-0 with another goal on a power play chance 7:13 into the second period. The goals came from Brandon Sacchetti (Montreal, Quebec), Tristan Fasig (Sherman, Conn.), and Chris Duclair (Montreal, Quebec). 
  • The 'Grims came through with a goal of their own just two minutes later, with senior forward Jesper Tarkiainen (Naperville, Ill.) finding sophomore forward Gunnar Sibley (Monticello, Minn.) for the team's first score of the weekend against the formidable Hobart defense. Freshman defenseman Andrew Ralston (San Jose, Calif.) was also credited with an assist on the goal. 
  • With 1:22 left in the third, still down 3-1, a Hobart penalty granted NEC a man-up situation for the final 82 seconds of the game; however, the top-ranked Statesmen would stand firm and would hold onto a 3-1 advantage as the final buzzer sounded. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS 

  • Freshman goaltender Anthony Beaulieu (Lawrence, Mass.) returned to net for the 'Grims, making 46 saves – good for a .939 save percentage.  
  • Mavrick Goyer (Ste-Sophie, Quebec) allowed one goal and made 17 stops for host Hobart. 
  • Shots on goal were 49-18 in favor of the Statesmen. 
  • Hobart found a slight edge on faceoffs, 32-25. 
  • With his one assist, Tarkiainen sits first on the team with 13 helpers and 18 total points. 
  • Ralston's seventh assist of the season is the most on the team among defensive players. 

UP NEXT 

  • NEC is back on the ice on Friday, February 21st, when they host Albertus Magnus at 7:00 PM from the Lee Clement Arena. 
  • Hobart plays their next game at 7:00 PM next Friday as they pay a visit to Babson College.
