Head Coach Matt Kerwick


Jim MorrisseyJim Morrissey joined the Hobart

coaching staff in the fall of 2006. A former assistant coach at Syracuse and Cornell, Morrissey was a two-time All-American as a player for the Syracuse Orange.

“We’re excited to have Jim as a part of the Hobart family,” Head Coach Matt Kerwick said. “His knowledge of the game through his experiences as a player at the highest level of collegiate and professional lacrosse and as a coach at two of the best in the game will make an immediate impact with the players.”

even hundred wins. With a 12-7 win over St. John’s on April 22, 2006, the Hobart College lacrosse pro-

gram joined an elite fraternity in the men’s lacrosse world. The Statesmen joined Johns Hopkins and Syracuse universi-ties as the only collegiate men’s lacrosse teams to post 700 wins.

A journey that began with a 2-1 victory over Cornell way back in 1898, captured 16 national championships along the way, and culminated with that historic win is now ancient history for the latest edition of the Purple and Orange.

Head Coach Matt Kerwick and his charges are focused squarely on the 2007 schedule—the program’s 105th season—and the slate of foes that includes four 2006 NCAA Tournament teams. Hobart’s players and coaches are approaching each game as if it were a championship game.

“We want the guys to think of every game as a championship game,” Kerwick, who is entering his sixth season at Hobart, said. “We’re not going to play up games more than others, because they’re all so competitive now that you have to be ready to play each game. We’ve got to go out and play our best each week.”

The 15-game schedule begins Feb. 18, in the Carrier Dome, the site of the Statesmen’s biggest triumph in 2006. Ho-bart reclaimed the Kraus-Simmons Trophy forthefirsttimesince1986thankstoa9-8victory over the Orange.

Kerwick knows SU, which rebounded from a slow start to reach the national semifinals,willbeaBIG early season test.

“We know that we don’t have time to relax and try to ease into our schedule because we’re going to play one of the top four teams in the country. It’ll be a good barometer for us.“

After the team’s showdown at Syra-cuse the Statesmen will play Bucknell in Baltimore, then be at home for eight of its next 11 games, including four in a row between March 13 (Marist) and March 31 (Fairfield).

With the quality of competition at an all-time high in Division I lacrosse, Ho-bart’s home-game heavy schedule could be a key factor in the Statesmen’s success this season.

Here’s a position-by-position look at theStatesmen:

ATTACKMENJunior Daryl Veltman is the only

starter returning to an attack that ranked 24th in the nation in scoring (9.5 gpg), but the coach-ing staff is excited by the development of sopho-more Jeff Colburn and the arrival of transfer Jamie Kirk.

An All-ECAC second team pick, Veltman led the team with 22 goals and 31 points last season. He begins the season with 81 career points (50 goals), already eighth in career scoring among Division I Statesmen.

Colburn produced 12 points(5-7)asafirst-yearwith half of them coming inthefinalfourgamesofthe season. His improve-ment down the stretch has him poised for a breakthrough season.

Kirk joins the States-men following two sea-sons at the University of Vermont where he scored 64pointsandfinishedsecond in the America East and eighth in the nation in assists last season.

Together this trio will allow Hobart to play at a much higher tempo than last sea-son. Any one of the three can score and they all have great vision to set up their teammates’ goals.

SophomoreSamOrrandfirst-yearsKevin Curtin, Daniel Keegan, Doug Shiver, and Kenny Burst will provide depth this season and the foundation for future po-tent attacks.

MIDFIELDERS Hobart’s biggest strength entering this

season will be at the faceoff X, where the Statesmen feature, not one, but two All-American caliber specialists. Senior John Soden and junior Dan Spinella combined to win 55.8 percent of their restarts, 12th in the nation last season.

At 439, Soden is just 20 wins behind Tim Booth ’03, who sports the most wins since the program moved to Division I. Meanwhile, Spinella begins the year with the highest career winning percentage (.574) after ranking fourth in the nation in

SophomoreJustinHagerandfirst-year Neal Brown will add depth to the unit.

GOALIES The biggest question mark for Hobart

is in the cage. Mike DeSantis (9.66 career GAA) graduated, leaving Hobart with less than 67 minutes of collegiate playing expe-rience.

Sophomore Brad Hester—the most experiencedcontenderwith54:10inthecage last season—is the early front-run-ner in a wide-open contest. Called on in threegamesasafirst-year,heshowedpoiseandconfidencedespitetwoofthosecontests being already in hand for the op-position.

Hesterwillbechallengedbyfirst-yearMax Silberlecht and senior Brandon Baer.

Silberlecht is a mountain in the cage (6-foot-3, 230) that invokes memories of Hall of Famer Guy Van Arsdale ’83 and Freddy Pawlikowski ’98, both in terms of his size and his prowess between the pipes, while Baer has turned heads with his improved play this spring.

The pieces are in place for a 26th NCAA Tournament, but the Statesmen will need to stay focused and play each game like its a championship game, bringing a full-throttle effort every day.

Suits and Lazore are both Central New York natives and earned a silver medal together in the 2005 Empire State Games.

Sophomore Matt Smalley and class-mate Jamie Sprague will serve as Hobart’s primary d-middies. Smalley was second on the team and 27th in the nation in ground balls a year ago, proving to be a vital link in the team’s success on faceoffs. Sprague is a hard worker and tough

Senior co-captain Chris Keough and junior Rafe Mattingly form the nucleus of the Hobart close defense. Keough is a speedy, takeaway artist with 119 ground balls to his credit, while Mattingly is Hobart’s best one-on-one defender.
