Box Score BABSON PARK, Mass.—Hobart College first-year goalkeeper
Keith Longo (Hopedale, Mass.) stopped all 23 shots he faced to break the Statesmen record for most consecutive shutout minutes in a 6-0 win over Williams in the semifinals of the Babson Invitational Tournament. He is just the second Statesman to post back-to-back shutouts.
Longo’s streak, which began in the latter stages of the Manhattanville game on Nov. 5, now spans 157 minutes and 1 second.
Thomas Kelliher ’06 held the previous record for consecutive shutout minutes, blanking Hobart’s opposition for 143 minutes and 15 seconds spanning four games during the 2003-04 season.

Ed Poirier (Methuen, Mass.) and junior
Mike McCarthy (Medfield, Mass.) also added goals for the Statesmen.
