GENEVA, N.Y.—Hobart College senior Greg Stern broke the school record for 3-pointers made in a game with 11 tonight, accounting for all 33 of his career-high scoring effort and leading the Statesmen to an 83-61 Liberty League victory over Union College.
Hobart (8-2, 1-0) fell behind 11-0, but Stern came off the bench
tonight and made his first six 3-point tries as the Statesmen
rallied to take a 37-31 lead into halftime.
Hobart used an 11-0 run midway through the second half to build a
comfortable 19-point lead. Stern tied the record with 5 minutes
remaining in the game and swished the record-breaker with 2:36 to
go.
The previous record was 10 set by Andrew D'Eloia against Rochester
on Feb. 14, 1995.
Senior Matt
Pebole and junior Stefan
Thompson joined Stern in double digits with
10 points apiece. Sophomore Richie
Bonney led the Statesmen to a 29-23
rebounding edge with a game-high seven boards.
Keven Donohue had a game-high 14 points for the visitors while Cal
Shorey and Joe Mason added 11 and 10 points, respectively. As a
team, Union outshot Hobart 57.8 percent to 51.7 percent, but the
Dutchmen were undone by turnovers (20 to Hobart's 7) and an
inability to get to the free throw line (the Statesmen made 10
freebies to the Dutchmen's 5).
Hobart will be back in action at 8 p.m. on Fri., Jan. 13, when the
Statesmen host Clarkson. Union (7-4, 0-3) will be back on the court
at the same time at Rensselaer.
