The Statesmen (2-2) are coming off a 12-6 win over Binghamton on Saturday. Junior attackman Frank Brown produced a career-high five points on four goals and an assist to lead the offense. Hobart enjoyed a 14-7 edge at the faceoff X thanks in large part to the work of first-year Matthew Pedicine, who won 12 of his 17 restarts. Junior goalie Jackson Brown earned the win with seven saves.
 
The Raiders (2-2) are looking to rebound from a 12-9 Patriot League loss at Lehigh this past Saturday. Lehigh led by as many as five in the third quarter, but Colgate rallied to cut its deficit to one, 10-9, with just over six minutes remaining. The Mountain Hawks scored twice in the final four minutes to clinch the victory.
 
Hobart ranks in the top 25 in the nation in man down defense (13th, .750), faceoff percentage (18th, .586), clearing percentage (24th, .875), and scoring offense (25th, 11.0). Brown is 23rd in the nation in goals per game (.275).
 
Colgate is among the national leaders in turnovers per game (15th, 12.25), man down defense (17th, .727), and scoring defense (17th, 8.75). Goalie Brandon Burke is 19th in the country in goals against average (8.69).
 
The Statesmen lead the series, which began in 1921, 50-11-2. Since Hobart elevated its lacrosse program to Division I in 1995, the teams have squared off 15 times with the Statesmen prevailing 12 times.
