Lehigh also opened its season with a win last Saturday. The Mountain Hawks topped NJIT 10-5.

Faceoff specialist Mike Sisselberger was 14-of-16 with a game-high 11 ground balls.
 
The game will be the 10th meeting between the two programs, but the first since 2004 when Hobart was in its final season as an associate member of the Patriot League. The Statesmen lead the series 6-3, including wins in all five games played as Patriot League foes between 2000 and 2004. Lehigh dominated the series in the early years of the 20th century, winning three of four against Hobart between 1900 and 1904.
