Montclair, NJ - After a week off, Montclair State returns to action with another long road trip. The Red Hawks head to Upstate New York and Geneva for a matchup with Hobart College.

The Statesmen scored the final 17 points capped off by a 28-yard field goal by Kyle Hackett as time expired. Trailing 17-3, Ryan Hoffman threw a pair TDs to tie the game in the fourth quarter.
