Streaks snapped: Hobart hammers Lakers, Elmira nips Plattsburgh

OSWEGO, N.Y. - Hobart (7-0-0) defeated Oswego State (4-3-1) 5-2 at the Campus Center Saturday night. Statesman goalie Keith Longo stopped 41 shots and improved to 4-0-0 on the season. Hobart supplied him with an early lead as Brian Harris scored in the game's first minute. Brian Cibelli's power play marker in the 15th minute made it a two-goal lead.

Hobart began the second period in the same fashion they did the first. Shawn Houde found twine 28 seconds in for his fourth tally on the season. The Lakers would get that goal back in the 16th minute as Peter Maganga found the back of the net to cut Hobart's lead to 3-1. That was the closest the Lakers would get all night as Longo turned away 16 shots in the third.

"(Longo) made big saves. But, we made him look good, too. We shot right at him, de ja vu of Kent State. But I give him credit, I thought he was the difference in the game," said Lakers coach Ed Gosek.
