I thought the defense played relatively well - where they feel into trouble was when Hobart attacked the goal sooner then they were expecting. Outside of Holden I don't think many Statesmen players were "beating" their man all that often.  They just seemed to know when to strike. Also Hobart can absolutly sting corners.  Will the defense need to play better in the future? Absolutely, but they also showed a lot of good things.  Aviles looked like a different player, much more aggresive in challenging his man, and I think DiPietro does a lot of the little things well that are often over looked in a defenseman. Lastly, Hobart employed the 10 man ride throughout the game and Syracuse didn't really seem to have any trouble with it at all (14-16).  I think they still struggle a bit with when to slide, but I don't really have a problem with any of the individual defenders.  Curious to see what happens when Mellen comes back, hopefully it is this week.
