Hobart's Adrian Colmenares recorded the Statesmen's second goal and game winner in the 105
th minute, on a penalty kick, to lift Hobart to a 2-1 win over the St. Lawrence University men's soccer team on Saturday afternoon in Geneva, New York.
Ryan Crouse tipped in the Saints' lone goal after a free kick and a scramble in front of the Hobart goal.
Hunter Critchlow knotted the game 1-1 in the 45th minute of play with a header goal off the corner kick from Juan Widoycovich.
Colmenares's penalty kick in the 105th minute sealed the win and the regular season title for Hobart.
"The boys are disappointed with the result today and it was tough playing a man down for almost 65 minutes," said head coach
Mike Toshack. "The team took an early well deserved lead and we played some of our best soccer in the first half. In the second half, the guys gave a really gutsy performance and were able to absorb the pressure and create a couple opportunities for ourselves. The team is looking forward to the post season and getting after it."
