GENEVA, N.Y.—The start time of the Hobart College lacrosse game on Saturday, March 3 against Binghamton University has been pushed back due to the winter storm that is approaching the Northeast. To allow the grounds crew more time to remove snow from Boswell Field the opening faceoff is now set for 2 p.m.
 
A winter storm watch is in effect for Geneva and surrounding areas for Friday. Forecasters are predicting 5 to 8 inches of snow.
 
Tickets are $5 for general admission, $2 for children 12 and under.
 
The game will be the 13th all-time meeting between the Statesmen and Bearcats with Hobart holding a 7-5 series lead. The Statesmen are 5-1 all-time against BU in Geneva. The Bearcats prevailed 12-6 in last season's showdown in Vestal.
 
Both teams enter the weekend looking for their first win. Hobart is 0-3 following last week's 15-8 loss at Cornell, while Binghamton is 0-4 after suffering an 8-7 loss at Marist on Sunday.
