Spartans top Statesmen in season opener

GENEVA, N.Y.—The Hobart basketball team opened the 2025-26 season in Bristol Gym this evening, hosting York (PA). The Statesmen put three players in double figures, but the Spartans finished with five on their way to an 85-67 victory.

Classmate Dorian Paki netted 13 points and five rebounds. Sophomore Allen Mordi posted 11 points and four boards. Senior Gabriel Bergeron chipped in eight points and five boards.
 
York's Tate Landis led all scorers with 18 points, including four 3-pointers, and four steals. Jayden Rowe notched 15 points and seven rebounds. Ben Troyer gave the Spartans 13 points off the bench. Cooper Haberern logged a double-double on 11 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Aleks Smith also had 11 points.
