Box Score GENEVA, N.Y.—The Hobart College ice hockey team moved up to 11th in the USCHO.com Division III poll after upsetting then undefeated and top-ranked Manhattanville, 5-2. University of Wisconsin-Superior takes over at the top of the rankings with 11 first place votes.

In a pair of victories last week, the Statesmen were led by a balanced attack, getting nine goals from nine different players. Defensively, Hobart’s penalty kill was outstanding, allowing just one power-play goal in 13 opportunities.

The Statesmen started off the week with a 4-2 win over Buffalo State, behind first-year Shawn Houde’s (Manchester, N.H.) goal and two assists. Hosting the Valiants four days later in its first conference game since Dec. 4, Hobart jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two periods thanks to a three-goal outburst in the second stanza.

Senior forward Craig Levey (Mississauga, Ontario) and junior defenseman Will Bodine (North Massapequa, N.Y.) both tallied a goal and an assist in the victory. The Statesmen’s blue-liners held Manhattanville scoreless on 10 power play opportunities, while the Valiants’ two goals were well below their season scoring average of 4.64 gpg.

First-year goaltender Dimitri Papaevagelou (Windham, N.H.) turned away 22 shots to capture his eighth win of the year.

Hobart (10-2-4) put its four-game win streak on the line at Amherst College this evening at 7 p.m., at Orr Rink.
