Senior midfielder Quinn Phillips fueled No. 22 Hobart’s 3–2 victory over Ithaca on Carp Wood Field, playing a role in all three Statesmen goals. Phillips matched his career high with five points, scoring twice and assisting on the game-winner.
After Ithaca’s Jared Krasnove opened the scoring less than two minutes in, Phillips converted a 16th-minute penalty to tie it. Four minutes later, he gave Hobart the lead with a curling strike from 25 yards out. The Bombers equalized in the second half through Ikey Borden, but the Statesmen answered in the 68th minute when Phillips set up sophomore Danny Spataro, who chipped home the decisive goal.
Senior goalkeeper Tommy Chyzowych made three saves, including a late stop on Ithaca’s Cameron Wooten, to preserve the win. The Statesmen outshot the Bombers 18–11 and held an 8–5 edge in shots on goal.
The victory extends Hobart’s unbeaten start to 11 games (9-0-2, 4-0-1 Liberty League), its best since 2008. Ithaca dropped to 6-3-2 overall and 0-2-1 in league play.
Phillips continues to excel against the Bombers, totaling 13 points (5g, 3a) in five career meetings.
Hobart returns home Saturday, October 11, to host Skidmore.
