"A lot of their offensive movement is built off set plays that work right along the crease, setting picks and just trying to bother us," Cynar said. "It's just tough working against that, but I think we did a pretty good job."

In addition to Cynar's play the Crimson line-up featured a number of freshmen that moved into key positions and played well.

Leary created a number of scoring chances and was a huge source of movement in the Crimson offense.

Freshman Mike Meagher filled in at the other end in the center of the defense. With junior defensive standout Jeff Psaki marking Hobart's top scorer, Meagher was stellar throughout.

"I thought he did a great job, especially when we were clearing the ball, one of our biggest problems," Cynar said, "He worked hard and made some good decisions. I was impressed."

Meagher did not expect to play as much against Hobart.

"I had worked a lot during the week in drills during practice, but I was still surprised to get that much playing time," Meagher said. "It felt good just to be in there and get some experience and to contribute early in the season."
