BROCKPORT, N.Y.—The Hobart soccer team defeated Brockport 1-0 in overtime in the championship game of the Golisano Children’s Hospital Tournament this afternoon. Hobart improved to 2-0 overall, while Brockport dropped to 1-1.

The game remained scoreless until just over one minute into overtime, when Brockport scored an own goal off a hard driven cross from the endline by Tyler Webster (Acton-Boxboro/Acton, Mass.) that deflected into the goal off of a Brockport defender. The teams were evenly matched, as each took 10 shots and five corner kicks.

Sophomore Pete Van Dellon (Webster Thomas/Webster, N.Y.) totaled eight saves to lead the Statesmen.

First-year Grant Morrison (Gleniffer/Paisley, Scotland), sophomore Keenan Simons (Cardinal Mooney/Bradenton, Fla.), and senior Jamie Smith (Cheshire/Cheshire, Conn.) represented Hobart on the All-Tournament Team, while sophomore Dan Riso (Red Hook Central/Red Hook, N.Y.) was named Tournament MVP.

Hobart will return to action on Sept. 7 when it hosts RIT at 4:30 p.m.
