Daly's Header Lifts UR Past Hobart

GENEVA, NY- Sophomore Sean Daly headed in a goal with 15 minutes remaining, boosting the University of Rochester men's soccer team to a 3-2 victory over Hobart College on Saturday afternoon.
 
Daly scored a goal off a corner kick from teammate Ben Keeton at 75:45 to send Rochester (4-1) to is second straight win over a Liberty League team (UR beat Clarkson 7-0 last Saturday).  Hobart drops to 2-3 with the loss.
 
The first four goals of the game came in two short bursts for the teams.  Sophomore Tyler Buck got Rochester on the board first at 33:03 when he fired a shot into the left corner of the goal off a pass from freshman Jeff Greblick who leads UR in scoring through five games (3 G, 6 A).
 
Hobart would answer four minutes later when Ryan Farrell tapped in a goal at the right post off a pass from Bernard Abagali.  That goal would send the teams to the break tied at 1-1.
 
Abagali would then set up teammate Sean Barry for a redirected header goal in the 57th minute, giving the Statesmen a 2-1 lead.  But Rochester would be the team to answer this time, scoring the tying goal when junior Shane Dobles would head in a pass from Alex Swanger at 58:05.
 
The Yellowjackets would hold the slight edge in shots (18-13) and corner kicks (7-4) with each school making seven saves on the day.  Mike Moranz picked up the win in goal for Rochester while Mike Lucas was saddled with the loss for Hobart.
 
The victory is Rochester's first in six games over Hobart, with the last win coming in 2006 by a 2-0 score (0-3-2 in that span).
 
The Yellowjackets next take to the field on Tuesday night with a home contest against SUNY Geneseo at 7 pm.
