The Ithaca College men’s soccer team fell to the Hobart Statesmen in a grueling 3-2 loss Oct. 8 at Carp Wood Field, adding a third game to the Bombers’ two game losing streak.

The Ithaca College men’s soccer team is in the midst of a program revamp under new head coach Gabe Kuhn, who has brought success the team has not achieved in years.

The Bombers collected their sixth clean sheet of the year and are currently on pace to break the school’s single-season shutout record of 12, which was set in 2005.
The No. 21 Ithaca College men’s soccer team travelled to face off against the No. 9 SUNY Cortland Red Dragons on Sept. 17 in a match that ended in a dramatically tense 0-0 draw.

The game was the Bombers' only matchup against a ranked team for the remainder of regular season play.
The Ithaca College men’s soccer team captured its second consecutive win of the season Sept. 3, improving its record on the season to 2-0-0.
