Considine posts hat trick against #3 Cornell

GENEVA, N.Y.—Hobart College sophomore midfielder John Jude Considine produced his first collegiate hat trick, but third ranked Cornell University defeated the Statesmen 17-8 on Boswell Field this evening. The Big Red improved to 3-0, while Hobart slipped to 2-2.
 
Eight different Statesmen recorded a point, but only Considine had more than one. Senior faceoff specialist Adam Shea won 15-of-27 faceoffs and grabbed a game-high six ground balls. Graduate student defensemen Michael Christiansen and Mark Synnott and sophomore attackman James Greene each had a team-high two caused turnovers.
 
Cornell was led by junior attackman CJ Kirst's game-high 11 points on seven goals and four assists. Three other Big Red finished with three points. Billy Coyle scored a pair of goals and collected a team-high five ground balls. Goalie Chase Ierlan made 16 saves in 55 minutes to earn the win.
