COACH'S CORNER
"It was a huge weekend for us adding three points today against a very good Union team," Head Coach Shawn Griffin said. "A six point weekend in the Liberty League is a difficult task for any team. We have to now focus our attention toward a very good Bard side next Tuesday.
 
UP NEXT
Hobart will be back in action next Saturday, Oct. 26, when it heads to Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, to take on Bard. The game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
