Box Score GENEVA, N.Y.—For the second time in three games, the Hobart basketball team sank 14 three-pointers en route to a victory. This time the Statesmen dialed long distance against Hamilton for an 81-67 Liberty League win, extending their winning streak to four games.

Tim Llewellyn led the way with a team-high 17 points, including 5-of-8 from behind the arc. He also shared team-high honors with five steals. Stefan Thompson added his first collegiate double-double with 10 points and 12 assists, as well as five steals. Mark Bruce, Matt Pebole, and Rezin Davis gave the Statesmen a quintet of double digit scorers with 13, 12, and 11 points, respectively.

Hamilton's Pat Sullivan produced game-highs of 20 points and 10 rebounds. Ken Click, Ephraim McDowell, and Dayne Harris chipped in 16, 11, and 11 points, respectively.

Hobart (13-8, 6-4) never trailed, opening the game on a 14-3 run. Bruce netted the Statesmen's first nine points. Hobart led by as many as 12 in the first 20 minutes, carrying a 42-31 lead into halftime.

Both teams shot well—Hobart held a slight edge at intermission 44.4%-42.3%--but the Statesmen pressured the Continentals (8-12, 4-6) into 12 turnovers, while committing just five.

Early in the second half, Hamilton trimmed its deficit to eight, 45-37, but Pebole countered with a traditional three-point play, launching Hobart on a 16-7 run that stretched the Statesmen lead to 17. The Continentals trailed by at least 13 and as many as 20 the rest of the way.

Hamilton, which connected on 9-of-15 from three-point range against Hobart earlier this season, managed to hit just 1-of-10 tonight.

Fueled by Llewellyn and Thompson's thievery, Hobart established a new season-high for steals with 17 and matched its season-high for three-pointers made established just four days ago.

Hobart will continue its five-game homestand at 8 p.m. on Feb. 12, when the Statesmen host Clarkson. The Continentals will return home to face St. Lawrence at 8 p.m. on Feb. 12.
