Sergio Salcido scored a pair of goals, and assisted on another, during a 6-0 run to close the game as Syracuse snapped a three-game losing streak with a 13-6 win over Hobart.
The Orange took a comfortable 7-3 lead into halftime, led by three goals from Jordan Evans. Hobart nearly erased that lead out of halftime, with Bryan Hancock’s unassisted goal with 12:00 left in the third quarter capping a 4-0 run to pull the Statesmen to within 7-6.
But Syracuse Evan Molloy notched four saves in the third quarter, one of which led to a Salcido goal with 6:49 left in the third quarter to stop the run. Two minutes later, Dylan Donahue scored his 14th goal of the season to put the Orange back up three.
