Box Score SPARK GLENCOE, Md.—The Hobart College lacrosse team used a smothering ride to rally past Providence College 13-11 on Tierney Field at USA Lacrosse Headquarters in the FCA Lacrosse Invitational this afternoon. The Statesmen rode the Friars 52% of the time and overcame a three-goal halftime deficit to improve to 4-3 on the season.
 
"This was a great game to participate in," Hobart Head Coach Greg Raymond said. "We're grateful for the opportunity and for Corrigan Sports for putting together an excellent event."
 
First-year goalie Elhanan Wilson made 12 saves to earn his first collegiate win in his first start. Sophomore midfielder John Jude Considine led the offense with a hat trick, including what proved to be the game-winning goal. Sophomore attackmen Will Delano and Alex Rosa each posted two goals and an assist, while junior attackman Anthony Dattellas scored twice. Dattellas was also credited with a game-high two caused turnovers.
 
Ryan Bell was one of three Providence players with three or more points, posting a game-high six on two goals and four assists. Faceoff specialist Quinn McConnaughey won 13-of-19 at the X and grabbed a game-high seven groundballs. Goalie James Corasaniti made 13 saves for PC.
