Box Score GENEVA, N.Y.—The fourth-ranked Hobart College soccer team improved its record to 5-0-0, after defeating St. John Fisher 2-0 today on Cozzens Field. The Cardinals dropped to 1-3-1 on the season.

Minutes after checking into the game, sophomore forward Tony Yeboah gave Hobart its first goal of the match at the 23 minute, 31 second mark, capitalizing on a give-and-go from first-year midfielder Will Abbott. The goal marked Yeboah's second of the year.

In the 50th minute, junior forward Kevin McCarthy gave the Statesmen breathing room with his first goal of the season. He put back a rebounded shot from sophomore midfielder Chris King.

Hobart sophomore goalie Charlie Hale collected three saves for his fourth shutout of the season. He came up big with a diving save in the 60th minute, stopping a hard shot from Sean Fishel, and again in the 63rd minute, grabbing a header by Cristobal Martinez. Adam Durst recorded six saves in net for St. John Fisher.

The Statesmen held a 15-9 advantage in total shots. Both teams were awarded six corner kicks.
