GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Genseo sophomore forward Trevor Hills scored two goals but it was visiting Hobart overcoming a 4-2 second-period deficit with five unanswered goal to take the 7-4 decision, Saturday night, at Wilson Ice Arena. The game was marred by a combined 27 penalties and 132 minutes of penalty time

Hobart (9-5-0) notched a power-play tally of its own with 49 seconds on the clock to make it a 2-1 Geneseo lead at the first intermission.

Knights senior forward Tyler Brickler tipped home his team-leading eighth goal of the season at the 16:29 mark of the second period, but Hobart pulled back within one at 6:55 on the first of two tallies in the game by forward Brad Robbins. 

Hills' second goal of the game came with 4:51 remaining in the second on rebound following a Knights' rush on net, but the Statesmen answered 46 seconds later with a power play goal by Ryan Michel that made it a 4-3 Geneseo lead after 40 minutes of play.
