Meshanic’s game-high 22 leads Hobart to 6th straight win

Junior forward Carter Meshanic posted a game-high 22 points as the Hobart College basketball team remained undefeated, knocking off Vassar College 69-58 in a Liberty League contest this afternoon. The Statesmen improved to 6-0, matching the program record for wins to start a season (2011-12).

Meshanic was 8-of-11 shooting and a perfect 6-for-6 at the free throw line. He also grabbed five rebounds and blocked two shots. Senior forward Ryan Lucey posted career-highs of 12 points and a team-high 10 rebounds for his first career double-double. Senior Isaiah Washington and juniors Pat Healy and Aidan Rodgers all finished with nine points.

The Brewers had three players reach double digits led by Shea Fitzgerald’s 14 points. Avery Lee and Case Parsons each chipped in 10 points. Logan Scott added seven points and a team-high 10 rebounds.
