The Hobart College soccer team battled through 110 minutes for a 2-2 tie at Geneseo in a non-league game this afternoon. It was the second game in a row, and third this season, for the Statesmen that has gone into overtime.
Â
Hobart is now 1-3-2, and the Knights are 3-2-1. The game was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday, but it was postponed to this afternoon based on lightning forecasted in the area.
Â
After a scoreless first half, Matt D'Amico gave the Knights a 1-0 lead in the 56th minute. Alex Car sent the ball into the box, and D'Amico one-touched it past the keeper. In the 70th minute, first-year
Ben Orr tied things up with his first goal as a Statesman. Junior
Nick Dosky set up the play. Just 2:26 later, senior
JP White gave Hobart a 2-1 advantage. First-year
Mike Goulart sent a through ball into the box to earn the assist.
Â
In the 79th minute, D'Amico struck again for the Knights, scoring on a hard shot from 16 yards out, tying the game at 2-2 and sending it into overtime. The Statesmen had one shot in each overtime period and earned on corner in the second OT. Geneseo had a corner in the first OT, and logged three shots in the second overtime.
Â
The Knights finished with an 18-14 lead in shots, while the Statesmen held a 6-5 edge in corners. Sophomore
Alec Kaminer played the entire match in goal for Hobart and made six saves. Dillon Medd finished with three saves in goal for Geneseo.
Â
The Statesmen will be back in action on Tuesday, Sept. 20, when they host Utica for a non-league game at 4:30 p.m.
