First-year Derrick Acheampong logged two goals in Hobart's win today. Senior goalie Tyler Serafine finished with two saves. Acheampong's first goal came on the very first shot of the game. Junior Joe Busuttil sent a cross from the right side to find Acheampong streaking in on the left. He fired his shot home for his seventh goal of the year.
 
In the 57th minute, senior Tyler Niles logged his third goal of the year. After a Hobart free kick and a flurry of action in front of the goal, Niles was able to settle the ball and tap a low shot over the goal line to make it 2-0. Acheampong struck again in the 65th minute. This time sophomore Zach Poretz blasted a shot that was blocked by a Tiger defender, but the rebound bounced right to Acheampong, who buried his shot for his team-leading eighth goal of the season.
 
In the 68th minute, Sean Heinze put the Tigers on the board. Tyler Hatch dished to Heinze on his left, who then sent a low rolling shot into the back of the net.
